Dear Fellow Shareholders:

Enclosed are the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Proxy Statement for the Vectrus, Inc. 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. This year’s meeting is intended to address only the business included on the agenda. Details of the business to be conducted at the 2020 Annual Meeting are given in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Proxy Statement, which provides information required by applicable laws and regulations.

Your vote is important and we encourage you to vote whether you are a registered owner or a beneficial owner. In accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules, we are using the Internet as our primary means of furnishing proxy materials to shareholders. Because we are using the Internet, most shareholders will not receive paper copies of our proxy materials. We will instead send these shareholders a notice with instructions for accessing the proxy materials and voting via the Internet. This notice also provides information on how shareholders may obtain paper copies of our proxy materials if they so choose. We believe use of the Internet makes the proxy distribution process more efficient, less costly and helps in conserving natural resources.

If you are the registered owner of Vectrus common stock and do not plan to vote in person at the 2020 Annual Meeting, you may vote your shares by making a toll-free telephone call or using the Internet. Details of these voting options are explained in the Proxy Statement. If you choose to receive paper copies of our proxy materials, you can vote by completing and returning the enclosed proxy card by mail as soon as possible.

If you are a beneficial owner and someone else, such as your bank, broker or trustee, is the owner of record, the owner of record will communicate with you about how to vote your shares.

Whether or not you plan to attend the 2020 Annual Meeting, please vote as soon as possible. Voting by any of the methods described above will ensure your representation at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Sincerely,

CHARLES L. PROW

2020 PROXY STATEMENT

INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROXY STATEMENT AND VOTING

Your vote is very important to us. For this reason, the Board of Directors of Vectrus, Inc. (“Vectrus” or the “Company”) is requesting that you allow your common stock to be represented at the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "2020 Annual Meeting") by voting your shares after reviewing this Proxy Statement. This Proxy Statement is being sent or made available to you in connection with this request and has been prepared on behalf of the Board of Directors by our management team.

WHY DID I RECEIVE THESE PROXY MATERIALS?

Beginning on or about March 26, 2020, this Proxy Statement is being mailed or made available, as the case may be, to shareholders who were Vectrus shareholders as of the March 12, 2020 record date (the “Record Date”), as part of the Board of Directors’ solicitation of proxies for the 2020 Annual Meeting and any postponements or adjournments thereof. This Proxy Statement and the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K (which have been furnished or made available to shareholders eligible to vote at the 2020 Annual Meeting) contain information that the Board of Directors believes offers an informed view of Vectrus.

WHO IS ENTITLED TO VOTE?

You can vote if you owned shares of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on the Record Date.

WHAT ITEMS OF BUSINESS WILL I BE VOTING ON?

You are voting on the following items of business :



1	To elect three Class III Directors as members of the Board of Directors for a three-year term, each as named in this Proxy Statement.
2	To ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for 2020.
3	To approve an amendment and restatement of the Vectrus, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan.
4	To approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to our NEOs, as described herein.
5	To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting.

HOW DO I VOTE?

If you are a registered owner, you can either vote in person at the 2020 Annual Meeting or by proxy, whether or not you attend the 2020 Annual Meeting. Beneficial owners may vote by submitting their voting instructions. If you are a beneficial owner and your shares are held in a bank or brokerage account, you will need to obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from your bank or broker to be able to vote in person at the 2020 Annual Meeting.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A REGISTERED OWNER AND A BENEFICIAL OWNER?

If the shares you own are registered in your name directly with Computershare, our transfer agent, you are the registered owner and the “shareholder of record.” If the shares you own are held in a stock brokerage account, bank or by another holder of record, you are considered the “beneficial owner” because someone else holds the shares on your behalf.

WHAT ARE THE PROXY VOTING PROCEDURES?

Your vote is important. After reviewing this Proxy Statement, please vote your shares right away to make sure that your shares are represented at the 2020 Annual Meeting. Please follow the voting instructions on the proxy card (if you are a shareholder of record) or the voting instruction form (if you are a beneficial owner). You may vote:



8	(	+

BY INTERNET	BY TELEPHONE (FROM U.S.)	BY MAIL

WHY DOES THE BOARD SOLICIT PROXIES FROM SHAREHOLDERS?

Since it is impractical for all shareholders to attend the 2020 Annual Meeting and vote in person, the Board of Directors recommends that you appoint the two people named on the accompanying proxy card to act as your proxies at the 2020 Annual Meeting.

HOW DO THE PROXIES VOTE?

The proxies vote your shares in accordance with your voting instructions. If you appoint the proxies but do not provide voting instructions, they will vote as recommended by the Board of Directors, except as discussed below under “What is a broker non-vote?" If any other matters not described in this Proxy Statement are properly brought before the meeting for a vote, the proxies will use their discretion in deciding how to vote on those matters.

HOW MANY VOTES DO I HAVE?

You have one vote for every share of Vectrus common stock that you owned on the Record Date.

HOW DOES THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMEND THAT I VOTE ON THE PROPOSALS?

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “ FOR” the election of each of the Class III Director nominees of the Board of Directors (Item 1), “ FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2020 (Item 2), "FOR" the approval of an amendment and restatement of the Vectrus, Inc. 2014

Omnibus Incentive Plan (Item 3), and “ FOR” the approval on an advisory basis of the compensation of our NEOs (Item 4).

WHAT IF I CHANGE MY MIND?

Shareholders of Record: You can revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by mailing a new proxy card with a later date or casting a new vote via the Internet or by telephone, as applicable. You can also send a written revocation to the Corporate Secretary at the Vectrus Corporate Headquarters, 2424 Garden of the Gods Road, Suite 300, Colorado Springs, CO 80919. If you come to the 2020 Annual Meeting, you can ask that the proxy you submitted earlier not be used and may vote in person.

Beneficial Owners: You must contact the bank, broker or other nominee holding your shares and follow its instructions for changing your vote.

WHAT IS A "BROKER NON-VOTE"?

The New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") has rules that govern brokers who have record ownership of listed company stock held in brokerage accounts for their clients who beneficially own the shares. Under these rules, brokers who do not receive voting instructions from their clients have the discretion to vote uninstructed shares on certain matters (“discretionary matters”) but do not have discretion to vote uninstructed shares as to certain other matters (“non-discretionary matters”). A broker may cast a vote on behalf of a beneficial owner from whom the broker has not received instructions with regard to discretionary matters but not non-discretionary matters. The broker’s inability to vote with respect to the non-discretionary matters to which the broker has not received instructions from the beneficial owner is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Under current NYSE interpretations, agenda Item 2, the ratification of Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, is considered a discretionary item. Your broker does not have discretion to vote your shares regarding Items 1, 3, or 4, each of which is considered a non-discretionary item.

Under Indiana law, the law of the state where the Company is incorporated, broker non-votes and abstentions are counted to determine whether there is a quorum present, but broker non-votes and abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the proposals. There are four formal items scheduled to be voted upon at the 2020 Annual Meeting as described in this Proxy Statement. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors is not aware of any business other than as described in this Proxy Statement that will be presented for a vote at the 2020 Annual Meeting.

HOW MANY VOTES ARE REQUIRED TO ELECT DIRECTORS OR APPROVE A PROPOSAL? HOW MANY VOTES ARE REQUIRED FOR AN AGENDA ITEM TO PASS?

The Amended and Restated Articles of the Company (the "Articles") and the Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company (the "By-Laws") provide that in uncontested elections, Directors shall be elected by a majority of the votes

cast (that is, the number of votes cast “for” a Director nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that nominee). Accordingly, broker non-votes and abstentions will not have any effect on the election of a Director. Cumulative voting in the election of Directors is not permitted. Items 2 and 4 are advisory in nature and non-binding. Items 2, 3 and 4 will be considered to have passed if the votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed the votes cast against the proposal.

WHAT HAPPENS IF A DIRECTOR NOMINEE FAILS TO RECEIVE A MAJORITY OF THE VOTES CAST IN AN UNCONTESTED ELECTION?

Our By-Laws provide that in uncontested elections, any Director nominee who fails to be elected by a majority of the votes cast, but who also is a Director at the time, shall promptly provide a written resignation, as a holdover Director, to the Chairman of the Board or the Corporate Secretary. The Nominating and Governance Committee (or the equivalent committee then in existence) shall promptly consider the resignation and all relevant facts and circumstances concerning any vote and the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and make a recommendation to the Board regarding whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation or whether other action should be taken. The Board will act on the Nominating and Governance Committee’s recommendation no later than its next regularly scheduled Board meeting or within 90 days after certification of the shareholder vote, whichever is earlier, and the Board will promptly publicly disclose its decision and the reasons for its decision.

HOW MANY SHARES OF VECTRUS STOCK ARE OUTSTANDING?

As of the Record Date, 11,586,964 shares of Vectrus common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

HOW MANY HOLDERS OF VECTRUS OUTSTANDING SHARES MUST BE PRESENT TO HOLD THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS?

In order to conduct business at the 2020 Annual Meeting, it is necessary to have a quorum. The presence in person or by proxy of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the 2020 Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be considered present for quorum purposes.

WHO COUNTS THE VOTES? IS MY VOTE CONFIDENTIAL?

Votes will be counted by the Inspector of Election appointed for the 2020 Annual Meeting. The Inspector of Election monitors the voting and certifies the confidentiality of the votes of shareholders.

WHO WILL SOLICIT PROXIES?

Our Directors, officers and other regular employees may solicit proxies. In addition, we have appointed Okapi Partners LLC

to help with the solicitation effort. These persons and Okapi Partners LLC may solicit proxies in person, by mail, by telephone or other electronic communication. Our Directors, officers and other employees will not receive any additional compensation for these activities.

WHO WILL PAY FOR THE COSTS OF THIS PROXY SOLICITATION?

We will pay the full cost of soliciting proxies. We will pay Okapi Partners LLC a fee of $8,000 plus reimbursement of expenses to assist with the solicitation, and we will reimburse brokers, nominees, custodians and other fiduciaries for their costs in sending proxy materials to beneficial owners.

HOW CAN I SUBMIT A PROPOSAL FOR THE 2021 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS?

Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the “Exchange Act,” establishes the eligibility requirements and the procedures that must be followed for a shareholder proposal to be included in a public company’s proxy materials. If you want us to consider including a shareholder proposal in next year’s proxy statement, you must deliver such proposal, in writing, to Kathryn Lamping, our Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, at our principal executive offices on or before November 26, 2020 and comply with applicable eligibility requirements and procedures.

Any other matters proposed to be submitted for consideration at next year’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders (other than a shareholder proposal included in our proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act) must be given in writing to our Corporate Secretary and received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date we first sent or made these proxy materials available to shareholders.

Therefore, to be presented at our 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, such a proposal must be received on or after November 26, 2020 but not later than December 28, 2020. Although the 90-day deadline is December 26, 2020, a Saturday, the Company will honor any requests for proposals received on December 28, 2020. The proposal must contain specific information required by our By-Laws, which are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and may be obtained from our Corporate Secretary upon written request. If a shareholder proposal is received before or after the range of dates specified above, our proxy materials for the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders may confer discretionary authority to vote on such matter without any discussion of the matter in the proxy materials.

CAN A SHAREHOLDER NOMINATE DIRECTOR CANDIDATES?

In accordance with procedures and requirements set forth in our By-Laws, shareholders may propose nominees for election to the Board of Directors only after providing timely written notice, as set forth in the preceding section. To be timely, notice of Director nomination or any other business for

consideration at the shareholders’ meeting must be received by our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices no less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date we released our Proxy Statement to shareholders in connection with last year's Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Therefore, to be presented at our 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, such a proposal must be received on or after November 26, 2020 but not later than December 28, 2020. The nomination and notice must meet all other qualifications and requirements of the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles, By-Laws and Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act. The nominee will be evaluated by the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board using the same standards as it uses for all other Director nominees.

These standards are discussed in further detail below under “Information about the Board of Directors and Other Matters - Director Selection, Composition and Diversity.” You can request a copy of the nomination requirements from the Corporate Secretary of Vectrus.

WHERE CAN I FIND THE VOTING RESULTS OF THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS?

We will announce preliminary voting results at the 2020 Annual Meeting and will publish final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K that we expect to file with the SEC within four business days after the 2020 Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Form 8-K with the SEC within four business days after the 2020 Annual Meeting, we intend to file a Form 8-K to disclose preliminary voting results and, within four business days after the final results are known, we will file an additional Form 8-K with the SEC to disclose the final voting results.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

SEC rules permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements and notices with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement or a single notice addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” provides cost savings for companies.

We will deliver only one copy of the proxy materials to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of those shareholders. We will, upon written or oral request, promptly deliver a separate copy of the proxy materials to a shareholder at a shared address to which single copies of the documents were delivered. You can make such request by writing to: Corporate Secretary, Vectrus, Inc., 2424 Garden of the Gods Road, Suite 300, Colorado Springs, CO 80919 or by calling 719-591-3600. Shareholders wishing to receive separate copies of the proxy materials in the future or shareholders sharing an address wishing to receive a single copy of proxy materials in the future may also contact our Corporate Secretary as described above.

Some brokers also household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement or notice to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that it will be sending householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement or notice, please notify your broker.

We also make available, free of charge on our website, all of our filings that are made electronically with the SEC, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K. To access these filings, go to our website (www.vectrus.com) and click on “SEC Filings” under the “Investors” heading. Copies of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC, are also available without charge to shareholders upon written request addressed to: Corporate Secretary, Vectrus, Inc., 2424 Garden of the Gods Road, Suite 300, Colorado Springs, CO 80919.

INTERNET AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS

In accordance with SEC rules, we are using the Internet as our primary means of furnishing proxy materials to shareholders. Because we are using the Internet, most shareholders will not receive paper copies of our proxy materials. We will instead send these shareholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials with instructions for accessing the proxy materials, including our Proxy Statement, 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Annual Report to Shareholders, and voting via the Internet. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials also provides information on how shareholders may obtain paper copies of our proxy materials if they so choose.

SHARE OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES

The Vectrus Board of Directors has established share ownership guidelines, as set forth below, for our Non-Management Directors who are not our employees ("Non-Management Directors") and corporate officers that we believe are consistent with general market practices. Share ownership guidelines for Non-Management Directors and corporate officers are reviewed annually to continue to align the guidelines with current market trends. The share ownership guidelines provide for share ownership levels at five times the annual cash retainer amount for the Non-Management Directors of the Company. Non-Management Directors receive a portion of their retainer, and the Non-Executive Chairman of the Board receives a portion of his Chairman fee, in restricted stock units (also referred to as “RSUs”), which are paid in shares when the RSUs vest. Non-Management Directors are encouraged to hold such shares until their total share ownership meets or exceeds the ownership guidelines.

The approved guidelines also require share ownership, expressed as a multiple of base salary, for the President and Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, Executive

Vice Presidents, Senior Vice Presidents and Corporate Vice Presidents. The guidelines specify the desired levels of Company stock ownership and encourage a set of behaviors for each corporate officer to reach the guideline levels. Specifically, the guidelines apply as shown in the table below. In achieving these ownership levels, shares owned outright, Vectrus restricted stock and RSUs are considered.




Non-Management Directors	5 X Annual Cash Retainer Amount
CEO	5 X Annual Base Salary
CFO and Executive Vice Presidents	3 X Annual Base Salary
Senior Vice Presidents	2 X Annual Base Salary
Corporate Vice Presidents	1 X Annual Base Salary

With respect to corporate officers, in order to attain the ownership levels set forth in the guidelines, it is expected that any restricted stock or RSUs paid in shares when the RSUs vest will be held, and that all shares acquired through the exercise of stock options will be held, except to the extent necessary to meet tax obligations. Compliance with the guidelines is monitored periodically. Non-Management Directors and corporate officers are afforded five years to meet the guidelines. The Company has taken individual tenure and Non-Management Director and corporate officer share ownership levels into account in determining compliance with the guidelines. As of February 3, 2020, all of our Non-Management Directors and corporate officers are in compliance with our share ownership guidelines (taking into account the applicable five-year transition period), except Mr. Parker, who was granted a temporary accommodation due to an unforeseen financial hardship situation.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table shows, as of February 3, 2020, the beneficial ownership of Vectrus common stock and options exercisable within 60 days of that date by each Director, by each of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table, and by all Directors and executive officers as a group, as well as each person known to us to beneficially own more than 5% of our outstanding common stock. In addition, we have provided information about ownership of options and RSUs that provides economic linkage to Vectrus common stock but does not represent actual beneficial ownership of shares.

The number of shares beneficially owned by each Non-Management Director or executive officer has been determined under the rules of the SEC, which provide that beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which a person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days through the exercise of any option or other right. Unless otherwise indicated, each Non-Management Director or

executive officer has sole voting and dispositive power or shares those powers with his or her spouse.

Each person or entity has reported sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares beneficially owned by that person or entity, except as otherwise indicated. The percentages below for the beneficial owners holding more than 5% are based on the number of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2019. The

information regarding persons owning more than 5% of our outstanding common stock is based solely on the most recent Schedule 13D or 13G filings with the SEC on behalf of such persons.

There were 11,523,691 shares of Vectrus common stock outstanding on February 3, 2020.

PROPOSALS TO BE VOTED ON AT THE 2020 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Articles provide for a classified Board of Directors divided into three classes designated Class I, Class II and Class III, each serving staggered three-year terms. The terms of our Class III Directors expire at the 2020 Annual Meeting. The terms of the Class I and Class II Directors will expire at the 2021 and 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, respectively. Directors elected by the shareholders at an Annual Meeting of Shareholders to succeed those Directors whose terms expire at such meeting are of the same class as the Directors they succeed and are elected for a term to expire at the third Annual Meeting of Shareholders after their election and until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

The election of Directors requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes will not have any effect on the election of a Director.

The full Board of Directors has considered and nominated three Class III nominees for election as Directors at the 2020 Annual Meeting, to serve for a three-year term. The qualifications and attributes considered by the Board when selecting each of these directors for nomination are described under the heading “Qualifications” in the respective Director’s biography below. Each of the Class III nominees is currently serving as a Director of Vectrus and has agreed to continue to serve if elected until the earlier of his or her retirement, resignation or death. If unforeseen circumstances arise before the 2020 Annual Meeting and a nominee becomes unable to serve, the Board of Directors could reduce the size of the Board or nominate another candidate for election. If the Board of Directors nominates another candidate, the proxies could use their discretion to vote for that nominee.

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR 2020

The Audit Committee has appointed Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2020. Deloitte has served as the Company's independent auditors since 2013.

Shareholder ratification is not required for making such appointment for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 because the Audit Committee has responsibility for the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm. The appointment is being submitted to shareholders for ratification with a view toward soliciting the opinion of shareholders, which will be taken into consideration in future deliberations. No determination has been made as to what action the Board of Directors or the Audit Committee would take if shareholders do not ratify the appointment. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee retains discretion to appoint a new independent registered public accounting firm at any time if the Audit Committee concludes such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. We expect that representatives of Deloitte will be present at the 2020 Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and to respond to appropriate questions. Deloitte is a registered public accounting firm with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). Representatives of Deloitte attended all regularly scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee during 2019.

The Audit Committee annually reviews and considers Deloitte’s performance of the Company’s audit. Among the performance factors reviewed are the following:



PERFORMANCE FACTORS REVIEWED INCLUDE DELOITTE'S:
l	Independence	l	Non-audit services
l	Experience	l	Management structure
l	Technical capabilities	l	Peer review program
l	Client service assessment	l	Commitment to quality reporting
l	Compliance and ethics programs	l	Length of time engaged by the Company
l	Responsiveness	l	Leadership
l	Financial strength	l	Industry insight

The Audit Committee also reviewed the terms and conditions of Deloitte’s engagement letter. The Audit Committee discussed these considerations as well as Deloitte’s fees and services with Deloitte and our management. The Audit Committee also determined that any non-audit services (services other than those described in the annual audit services engagement letter) provided by Deloitte were permitted under the rules and regulations concerning auditor

independence promulgated by the SEC and rules promulgated by the PCAOB in Rule 3526.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FEES

For the year ended December 31, 2019, we paid Deloitte fees totaling $1,145,828, which are categorized below. Aggregate fees billed to us represent fees billed by the member firms of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu and their respective affiliates.



Fiscal Year Ended

PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES

The Audit Committee pre-approves audit and permitted non-audit services provided by Deloitte. The Audit Committee has also adopted a policy on pre-approval of permitted audit related and non-audit services provided by Deloitte and permitted certain non-audit services provided by outside internal audit service providers. The purpose of the policy is to identify thresholds for services, project amounts and circumstances where Deloitte and any outside internal audit service providers may perform permitted non-audit services. A second level of review and approval by the Audit Committee is required when such permitted non-audit services, project amounts, or circumstances exceed specified amounts. The policy and its implementation are reviewed and reaffirmed on a regular basis to assure conformance with applicable rules.

The Audit Committee has determined that, where practical, all permitted audit-related and non-audit services shall first be placed for competitive bid prior to selection of a service

provider. Management may select the party deemed best suited for the particular engagement, which may or may not be Deloitte.

Providers other than Deloitte shall be preferred in the selection process for permitted audit-related and non-audit service-related work. The Audit Committee has approved specific categories of audit, audit-related and tax services incremental to the normal auditing function, which Deloitte may provide without further Audit Committee pre-approval. These categories include, among others, the following:


1.	Professional services rendered for the audits of our consolidated financial statements, statutory audits, reviews of our quarterly consolidated financial statements and assistance with review of documents filed with the SEC. Due diligence, closing balance sheet audit services, purchase price dispute support and other services related to mergers, acquisitions and divestitures;


2.	Employee benefit plan independent audits and preparation of tax returns for our defined contribution, defined benefit and health and welfare benefit plans, and preparation of the associated tax returns;


3.	Tax compliance and certain tax planning; and


4.	Accounting consultations and support related to new or existing accounting standards.

The Audit Committee has also approved specific categories of audit-related services, including the assessment and review of internal controls and the effectiveness of those controls, which outside internal audit service providers may provide without further approval.

If fees for any pre-approved non-audit services provided by either Deloitte or any outside internal audit service provider exceed a pre-determined threshold during any calendar year, any additional proposed non-audit services provided by that service provider must be submitted for second-level approval by the Audit Committee. Other audit, audit-related and tax services which have not been pre-approved are subject to specific prior approval. The Audit Committee reviews the fees paid or committed to Deloitte on at least a quarterly basis.

We may not engage Deloitte to provide the services described below:


1.	Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Company;


2.	Financial information systems design and implementation;


3.	Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports;


4.	Actuarial services;


5.	Internal audit outsourcing services;


6.	Management functions or human resources services;


7.	Broker-dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services; or


8.	Legal services and other expert services unrelated to the audit.

Employees of Deloitte who are senior manager level or above, including lead or concurring partners or other significant audit

partners and who have been involved with us in the independent audit, may not be employed by us in any capacity for a period of two years after the termination of their activities on our account.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS YOU VOTE "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF DELOITTE AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR 2020.

PROPOSAL 3

Approval of an Amendment and Restatement of the Vectrus, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan

We are requesting that shareholders approve the amendment and restatement of the Vectrus, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Amended Plan"), approved by our Compensation and Personnel Committee (the "Compensation Committee") on February 26, 2020, subject to approval by our shareholders. The Amended Plan amends and restates in its entirety the Vectrus, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Initial Plan"), as previously amended. The Initial Plan, as previously amended, is hereinafter called the "2014 Plan."

The Amended Plan does not increase the overall limit on the number of shares that may issued under the 2014 Plan. The primary purpose of the Amended Plan is to increase the number of shares that may be issued after December 31, 2014 pursuant to "full value" awards under the 2014 Plan from 930,000 shares to 1,200,000 shares. Full value awards are awards other than stock options and stock appreciation rights, such as restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance shares, where the value of the award is tied to the value of a full share. We include a separate limit for full value awards because full value awards are more dilutive than stock options and stock appreciation rights, and we want our shareholders to know how many of the total shares available for issuance under the Amended Plan may be issued in the form of full value awards.

As of March 12, 2020, of the 930,000 shares previously available for full value awards, there were approximately 233,000 shares available for future full value awards and approximately 286,000 full value awards outstanding. Based on our grant practices since the spin-off in September 2014 of Vectrus from Exelis Inc. (the “Spin-off”) and assuming future grant practices are consistent with past practice, we expect that the 270,000 share increase to the full value award limit provided for in the Amended Plan would allow us to continue granting awards for approximately three years. If the Amended Plan is not approved by our shareholders at the 2020 Annual Meeting, we anticipate using all of the current full value award reserve within two years. In addition, if we continue our recent practice of granting only full value awards and the Amended Plan is not approved by our shareholders at the 2020 Annual Meeting, there would be approximately 654,000 shares remaining available after exhausting the full-value reserve, but those shares could only be used for stock options or stock appreciation rights.

As of March 12, 2020, 77,047 stock options, with a weighted average exercise price of $23.30 per share were outstanding with a weighted average remaining term of 6.31 years. The closing price of a share of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on March 12, 2020 was $38.79 per share.

If the Amended Plan is approved by our shareholders, we would have approximately 1.16 million shares available for issuance pursuant to future awards, of which 503,000 would be available for full value awards.

Additional changes made in the Amended Plan include:


•	Imposing a $500,000 limit on the combined grant date value of equity awards and cash compensation provided to any non-employee director during any one fiscal year;


•	Removing obsolete historical references to predecessor equity plans;


•	Removing obsolete provisions relating to the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) ("Section 162(m") of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), which was eliminated by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Tax Act"); and


•	Removing an administrative provision that allowed participants to designate beneficiaries.

If the Amended Plan is not approved by our shareholders, the terms of the 2014 Plan in effect as of May 13, 2016 will continue in existence (without the proposed amendments noted above).

Other than the 2014 Plan, we currently have no other plan that provides for grants of equity-based awards to our employees or non-employee Directors.

Summary of the Amended Plan

The following is a description of the Amended Plan. The description of the Amended Plan is qualified in its entirety by the actual provisions of the Amended Plan, which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A.

Plan History

Our Board of Directors and Exelis Inc, as the sole shareholder, previously adopted and approved the Initial Plan, which became effective on September 27, 2014, following our Spin-off from Exelis Inc. On October 6, 2015, the Initial Plan was amended and restated to add a clawback provision, increase the acquisition threshold for an Acceleration Event from 20% of our outstanding shares to 30% of our outstanding shares, and make several minor clarifying changes. For the definition of Acceleration Event, see "Effect of Change in Control and Term of Employment on Annual Incentive Awards, Equity Awards and the Excess Saving Plan - Change in Control Agreements." On May 13, 2016, our shareholders approved a further amendment and restatement of the Initial Plan to increase the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to "full value" awards, update the list of performance measures that may be used for awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m), revise the change in control provision to preclude award agreements that provide for acceleration of vesting or payout of an award unless there is both a change in control event and a qualifying termination of employment or service, limit the Compensation Committee's authority to accelerate vesting, distribution or payment of an award, and make

several other clarifying changes. On February 26, 2020, our Compensation Committee approved the Amended Plan as described in this proposal, subject to shareholder approval at the 2020 Annual Meeting. If the Amended Plan is approved by our shareholders, it will become effective on the date of the 2020 Annual Meeting.

Key Features Designed to Protect Shareholders' Interests

The Amended Plan's design reflects our commitment to strong corporate governance and the desire to preserve shareholder value, as demonstrated by the following Amended Plan features:

þ Administration by an Independent Committee. Awards to executive officers are administered by our Compensation Committee, which is composed entirely of independent directors who meet the SEC and NYSE standards for independence.

þ Minimum Vesting Period. The Amended Plan generally requires a minimum vesting period of one year for awards to employees on or after October 6, 2015. Our regular award agreements for employee grants of restricted stock units and stock options provide for vesting in equal annual installments over three years.

þ No Evergreen Feature. The maximum number of shares available for issuance under the Amended Plan is fixed and cannot be increased without shareholder approval.

þ Repricing Prohibited. Shareholder approval is required for any repricing, replacement or buyout of underwater awards.

þ No Discount Awards; Maximum Term Specified. Stock options and stock appreciation rights must have an exercise price no less than the closing price of stock on the date the award is granted and a term no longer than ten years.

þ Limits on Non-Employee Director Compensation. The Amended Plan includes a limit of $500,000 on the combined value of equity awards and cash compensation provided to any non-employee Director in any fiscal year. For information on the compensation received by our non-employee Directors in 2019, see “Information About the Board of Directors and Other Matters - Non-Management Director Compensation.”

þ Award Design Flexibility. Different kinds of awards may be granted under the Amended Plan, giving us flexibility to design our long-term incentives to complement the other elements of compensation and to support our attainment of strategic goals.

þ Performance-Based Awards. The Amended Plan permits the grant of performance-based stock awards that are payable upon the attainment of specific performance goals.

þ Double Trigger Vesting on Change in Control. The Amended Plan expressly precludes award agreements that provide single trigger vesting upon a change in control.

þ Awards are Subject to Clawback. Awards and related payments under the Amended Plan are subject to recoupment or clawback under certain circumstances.

þ No Tax Gross ups. The Amended Plan does not include any tax gross up provisions.

Purpose

The purpose of the Amended Plan is to advance our interests by providing an incentive program that will enable us to attract, retain and motivate employees and Directors upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts our success depends, and to provide them with an equity interest in the Company in order to motivate superior performance.

Eligibility

As of January 1, 2020, we had approximately 7,200 employees and eight non-employee Directors. All of our employees and non-employee Directors and the employees of our subsidiaries and other affiliates are eligible to receive awards under the 2014 Plan. All of our non-employee Directors receive awards under the 2014 Plan. Because the Amended Plan provides for broad discretion in selecting participants and in making awards, the total number of employees who will be selected to receive awards under the Amended Plan cannot be determined at this time. The basis for selection to receive an award under the Amended Plan may include factors such as whether the receipt of an award would help us motivate and retain the employee and whether we believe receipt of an award would drive superior performance.

Plan Administration

The 2014 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee interprets the terms and intent of the 2014 Plan and determines who is eligible to receive awards under the 2014 Plan. The Compensation Committee may adopt rules, regulations and guidelines for administering the 2014 Plan and may delegate administrative duties to one or more of its members or to one or more agents or advisors. Additionally, the Compensation Committee may, by resolution, authorize one or more of our officers to designate who can receive awards and the size of the awards, except the Compensation Committee may not delegate these responsibilities to any officer for awards granted to an employee that is considered one of our elected officers. In addition, the Compensation Committee may only accelerate the vesting, distribution or payout of an award in connection with certain adjustments, death, disability or an Acceleration Event.

Shares Authorized, Shares Available for Issuance and Limits on Awards

Subject to adjustments as provided in the 2014 Plan in connection with certain restructuring and other significant events that change the value of our stock, the number of shares of our common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards under the 2014 Plan after December 31, 2014 is 2,625,000 shares. As noted above, we are not currently recommending any increase in the total number of shares of

our common stock that may be issued after such date under the Amended Plan. All of the shares available for issuance under the 2014 Plan may be used pursuant to incentive stock options.

The 2014 Plan contains a separate limit on the number of shares that may be issued with respect to "full value" awards, which includes restricted stock, restricted stock units and other awards other than stock options and stock appreciation rights. If the Amended Plan is approved by shareholders, the total number of shares available for issuance after December 31, 2014 as full value awards would be 1,200,000, an increase of 270,000 shares from 930,000 shares permitted under the 2014 Plan. As a result, we would then have approximately 1.16 million shares available for issuance pursuant to future awards, of which 503,000 would be available for full value awards.

Upon the exercise of a stock-settled stock appreciation right or net-settled stock option granted under the Amended Plan, the number of shares subject to the award (or portion of the award) that is then being exercised shall be counted against the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the Amended Plan on the basis of one share for every share subject thereto, regardless of the actual number of shares issued upon exercise. Any shares withheld (or, with respect to restricted stock, returned) in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations shall be counted as shares issued. Shares tendered in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations or a stock option exercise price or repurchased by the Company with proceeds collected in connection with the exercise of outstanding stock options may not be added back to the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the Amended Plan.

No shares were transferred from any prior plan to the Initial Plan. Shares of our common stock that are subject to outstanding awards granted in replacement of awards originally granted under a prior plan maintained by Exelis Inc. (defined as "Converted Awards" in the Amended Plan) are not considered available for grants. Shares that are subject to any awards under the Amended Plan, including Converted Awards, that terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise without the issuance of such shares, are settled in cash in lieu of shares of common stock or are exchanged with the Compensation Committee's permission for awards not involving shares of common stock, will be available again for grant under the Amended Plan.

Description of Awards

Stock-based compensation will typically be issued in consideration for the performance of services to us and our subsidiaries and other affiliates. The Amended Plan provides for a number of forms of stock-based compensation. The Compensation Committee may award stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other awards as described below.

Stock Options

The Compensation Committee can award incentive stock options, which are intended to comply with Section 422 of

the Code, or nonqualified stock options, which are not intended to comply with Section 422 of the Code. The Committee determines the terms of the stock options, including the period during which the stock options may be exercised, which may not exceed ten years, and the exercise price of the stock options, which may not be less than the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock on the date the stock option is granted. Subject to the specific terms of the Amended Plan, the Compensation Committee has discretion to set any additional limitations on stock option grants as it deems appropriate.

Each stock option award agreement sets forth the extent to which the participant will have the right to exercise the stock option following termination of the participant's employment or service as a Director. The termination provisions are determined within the discretion of the Compensation Committee, need not be uniform among all participants and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of employment or service as a Director, subject to the terms of the Amended Plan.

Upon the exercise of a stock option granted under the Amended Plan, the exercise price is payable in full either in cash or its equivalent, tendering (either by actual delivery or attestation) previously acquired shares having an aggregate fair market value at the time of exercise equal to the exercise price, broker-assisted cashless exercise, net exercise, a combination of the foregoing or by any other method approved by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.

Stock Appreciation Rights

The Compensation Committee may grant stock appreciation rights in tandem with stock options, freestanding and unrelated to options or any combination of those forms. In any case, the form of payment of a stock appreciation right will be determined by the Compensation Committee at the time of the grant and may be in shares of common stock, cash or a combination of the two. If granted other than in tandem, the Compensation Committee will determine the number of shares of common stock covered by, and the exercise period for, the stock appreciation right.

The Amended Plan provides that a stock appreciation right's base price may not be less than the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock on the date the stock appreciation right is granted.

Upon exercise of the stock appreciation right, the participant will receive an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of one share of stock on the date of exercise over the fair market value of one share of the stock on the grant date, multiplied by the number of shares of stock covered by the stock appreciation right exercise. If granted in tandem with an option, a stock appreciation right's exercise period may not exceed that of the option.

The participant may exercise a tandem stock appreciation right when the option is exercisable, surrender the option and receive on exercise an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of one share of stock on the date of exercise

over the option exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares of stock covered by the stock appreciation right exercise.

Each stock appreciation right award agreement will set forth the extent to which the participant will have the right to exercise the stock appreciation right following termination of the participant's employment or service as a Director. The termination provisions will be determined within the discretion of the Compensation Committee, need not be uniform among all participants and may reflect distinctions based on reasons for termination of employment or service as a Director, subject to the terms of the Amended Plan.

Restricted Stock

The Compensation Committee is also authorized to award shares of restricted common stock under the Amended Plan upon such terms and conditions as it may establish. The participants may be required to pay a purchase price for each share of restricted stock granted. The award agreement will specify the period(s) of restriction, the number of shares of restricted common stock granted and such other provisions as the Compensation Committee determines, subject to the terms of the Amended Plan. Although participants may have the right to vote these shares from the date of the grant, they will not have the right to sell or otherwise transfer the shares during the applicable period of restriction or until satisfaction of other conditions imposed by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. Participants may also receive dividends on their shares of restricted stock and the Compensation Committee, in its discretion, will determine how such dividends are to be paid.

Each award agreement for restricted stock will set forth the extent to which the participant will have the right to retain unvested restricted stock following termination of the participant's employment or service as a Director.

Restricted Stock Units

The Compensation Committee is authorized to award restricted stock units (also referred to as "RSUs") under the Amended Plan upon such terms and conditions as it establishes. The award agreement will specify the period(s) of restriction, the number of RSUs granted and such other provisions as the Compensation Committee determines, subject to the terms of the Amended Plan. The participants have no voting rights with respect to RSUs and do not have the right to sell or otherwise transfer the RSUs during the applicable period of restriction or until earlier satisfaction of other conditions imposed by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. Participants may receive credit for dividend equivalents on their RSUs and the Compensation Committee, in its discretion, will determine how such credits for dividend equivalents on restricted stock units are paid.

Each award agreement for RSUs will set forth the extent to which the participant will have the right to retain unvested RSUs following termination of the participant's employment or service as a Director. These provisions will be determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, need not be uniform among all awards of RSUs issued under the

Amended Plan and may reflect distinctions based on reasons for termination of employment or service as a director.

Other Awards

The Compensation Committee may grant other awards which may include, without limitation, unrestricted shares, the payment of shares in lieu of cash, the payment of cash based on attainment of performance goals, service conditions or other goals established by the Compensation Committee and the payment of shares in lieu of cash under other incentive or bonus programs. Payment under or settlement of any such other awards shall be made in such manner at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee may determine.

Performance Measures

The Compensation Committee may grant awards under the Amended Plan subject to the attainment of performance goals. To comply with the performance-based compensation exception then in effect under Section 162(m), we previously listed in the 2014 Plan, and asked shareholders to approve, the list of performance measures that could be used for performance-based awards. With the elimination of the performance-based exception under Section 162(m), we do not need to list the performance measures in the Amended Plan or have shareholders approve the performance measures. Consequently, in the Amended Plan we removed the list of performance measures and provide that the Committee may select the performance measures that will be used for awards in its discretion.

Adjustment, Change in Control and Amendments

The Amended Plan provides for appropriate adjustments in the number and kind of shares that may be issued under the Amended Plan and that are subject to outstanding awards, the individual award limits in the Amended Plan, and the exercise price of options and the grant price of stock appreciation rights, in the event of restructuring events and certain other events that change the value of our stock, such as a merger, reorganization, stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization through a large, non-recurring cash dividend, spin off or other similar events.

The Compensation Committee specifies in each participant's award agreement the treatment of outstanding awards upon an Acceleration Event. Our award agreements for awards granted on or after October 6, 2015 provide that acceleration of vesting occurs only if both an Acceleration Event and a termination of employment or service as a Director occur. The Amended Plan expressly precludes award agreements that provide for acceleration of vesting or payout of an award unless there is both an Acceleration Event and a qualifying termination of employment or service.

Subject to certain conditions, including maintenance of the minimum vesting provision below, the Amended Plan may be modified or amended by the Compensation Committee at any time and for any purpose which the Compensation Committee deems appropriate, except that no amendment can adversely affect any outstanding awards in a material way without the affected award holder's consent. Except for

adjustments made in connection with events described above, the exercise price of stock options and the grant price of stock appreciation rights issued under the Amended Plan may not be reduced without the approval of shareholders.

Minimum Vesting Period

The Amended Plan provides that awards granted to employees on or after October 6, 2015 require a minimum vesting period of one year, except in the event of the death, disability or, for awards granted prior to May 13, 2016, retirement of the employee, a Converted Award or replacement of an award, or in connection with an adjustment or an Acceleration Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Committee may grant awards without these minimum vesting requirements or may permit or authorize acceleration of awards otherwise subject to these minimum vesting requirements, with respect to awards covering 5% or fewer of the total number of shares authorized under the Amended Plan. Our regular award agreements for employee grants of restricted stock units and stock options provide for vesting in equal annual installments over three years.

Non-Transferability

Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee and provided in a participant's award agreements, awards may not be assigned or transferred by an Amended Plan participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any stock option or stock appreciation right is exercisable during a participant's lifetime only by the participant or by the participant's guardian or legal representative. Nonqualified stock options and stock appreciation rights may not be transferred for value or consideration.

Duration of the Amended Plan

Subject to the Compensation Committee's right to terminate the Amended Plan earlier, the Amended Plan will remain in effect until all shares subject to the Amended Plan have been purchased or acquired.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following discussion covers some of the United States federal income tax consequences with respect to awards that may be granted under the Amended Plan. It is a brief summary only. Participants should consult with their tax advisors for a complete statement of all relevant federal tax consequences. This summary does not describe state, local or foreign tax consequences of an individual's participation in the Amended Plan.

Federal Income Tax Consequences - Participants

Options. An Amended Plan participant will not recognize income for federal income tax purposes when incentive stock options are granted or exercised. If the participant disposes of shares acquired by the exercise of an incentive stock option either before the expiration of two years from the date the options were granted or within one year after the issuance of shares upon exercise of the incentive stock option, the participant will recognize in the year of disposition: (a) ordinary income to the extent the less of either (1) the fair

market value of the shares on the date of the option exercise, or (2) the amount realized on disposition exceeds the option exercise price; and (b) capital gain, to the extent the amount realized on disposition exceeds the fair market value of the shares on the date of option exercise. If the shares are sold after expiration of these holding periods, the participant generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on disposition and the option exercise price.

The exercise of an incentive stock option may result in alternative minimum tax liability. The excess of the fair market value of the shares purchased on exercise of an incentive stock option over the exercise price paid for such shares is considered alternative minimum taxable for alternative minimum tax purposes.

With respect to nonqualified stock options, the participant will recognize no income upon grant of the option, and, upon exercise, will recognize ordinary income to the extent of the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of option exercise over the stock option exercise price.

Upon a subsequent disposition of the shares received from the exercise of an option, the participant generally will recognize capital gain or loss to the extent of the difference between the fair market value of the shares at the time of the exercise and the amount realized on the disposition.

Stock Appreciation Rights. The recipient of a grant of stock appreciation rights will not realize taxable income on the date of such grant. Upon the exercise of a stock appreciation right, the recipient will realize ordinary income equal to the amount of cash or fair market value of stock received.

Restricted Stock. A participant holding restricted stock will, at the time the shares vest, realize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares and any cash received at the time of vesting. Dividends paid to the participant on the restricted stock during the restriction period will generally be ordinary income to the participant.

Restricted Stock Units. A participant holding restricted stock units will, at the time the restricted stock units vest, realize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares and any cash received at the time of vesting.

Other Awards. The tax consequences of other awards will depend upon the terms and conditions of such awards as determined by the Compensation Committee. However, a participant holding other awards will generally realize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares or cash received at the time of payment of shares or cash.

Federal Tax Consequences - Vectrus, Inc.

In general, we will receive an income tax deduction at the same time and in the same amount as the amount which is taxable to a participant as ordinary income, except to the extent prohibited by Section 162(m). To the extent a participant realizes capital gains, as described above, we will

not be entitled to any corresponding deduction for federal income tax purposes.

Section 162(m). The Tax Act generally eliminated our ability to deduct compensation qualifying for the "performance-based compensation" exception under Section 162(m) for tax years commencing after December 31, 2017. Section 162(m) imposes a $1 million limit on the amount that a public company may deduct for compensation paid to "covered employees" (as determined under Section 162(m)). For 2017 and prior taxable years, an exception to this deduction limit applied to "performance-based compensation," such as stock options and other equity awards that satisfied certain criteria. Under the Tax Act, the performance-based pay exception to Section 162(m) was eliminated, but a transition rule may allow the exception to continue to apply to certain performance-based compensation payable under written binding contracts that were in effect on November 2, 2017. The Amended Plan is not intended to affect the ability of awards previously granted under the 2014 Plan to qualify for grandfathered status under Section 162(m) if they otherwise would. However, no assurance can be given that such awards will, in fact, be exempt.

Awards Subject to Clawback

Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, all awards and any related payments made under the Amended Plan are subject to the provisions of any clawback policy implemented by the Company to the extent set forth in the policy and/or in any notice or agreement relating to an award or payment under the Amended Plan.

Future Plan Benefits

The future benefits that will be received under the Amended Plan by particular individuals or groups are not determinable at this time.

Board of Directors Recommendation

Under the laws of the State of Indiana, this matter is approved if the votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed the votes cast against the proposal. Accordingly, neither abstentions nor broker non-votes have any effect on the votes required under Indiana law.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS YOU VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE VECTRUS, INC. 2014 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN.

PROPOSAL 4

NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the related rules of the SEC, we are including in this Proxy Statement a separate resolution subject to shareholder vote to approve, in a non-binding vote, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K. The text of the resolution in respect of Proposal 4 is as follows:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables, and any related narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.”

At our 2019 Annual Meeting, our shareholders overwhelmingly approved our named executive officer compensation, with approximately 97.3% of the votes cast in favor of the proposal. We value this endorsement by our shareholders and believe that the outcome demonstrates the support of our shareholders for our compensation programs.

In considering their vote, shareholders may wish to review with care the information on our compensation policies and decisions regarding the named executive officers presented in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

In particular, shareholders should note that the Compensation and Personnel Committee bases its executive compensation decisions on the following key objectives:



l	align executive and shareholder interests by providing incentives linked to our revenue, new business, earnings per share, days sales outstanding, and individual goals, as well as Total Shareholder Return (TSR) relative to the Aerospace and Defense companies in the S&P 1500 Index;
l	achieve long-term shareholder value creation without undue business risk;
l	create a link between an executive's compensation and his or her individual contribution and performance;
l	attract, motivate and retain the most creative and talented industry leaders, recognizing the extremely competitive nature of the industry in which we operate; and
l	maintain compensation programs and practices that are competitive with and comparable to the compensation programs and practices of peer companies in the industry in which we operate and other comparable companies.

While the results of the vote are not binding on the Board of Directors but are only advisory in nature, the Board of Directors intends to carefully consider the results of the vote. The Board of Directors has adopted a policy providing for an annual advisory vote on executive compensation. Unless the Board of Directors modifies this policy, the next advisory vote on executive compensation will occur at the 2021 Annual Meeting.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND OTHER MATTERS

STRUCTURE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Our Articles provide that the Vectrus Board of Directors is divided into three classes that are as nearly equal in number as possible. The current terms of the Class I, Class II and Class III Directors will expire at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2021, 2022 and 2020, respectively, and in each case, when any successor has been duly elected and qualified. Upon the expiration of each term, Directors will subsequently serve three-year terms if they are renominated and reelected. The Class III Directors nominated for a three-year term are William F. Murdy, Melvin F. Parker and Stephen L. Waechter. The Class I Directors are Bradford J. Boston, Charles L. Prow and Phillip C. Widman and the Class II Directors are Louis J. Giuliano, Mary L. Howell and Eric M. Pillmore.

The Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board of Directors regularly review our corporate governance practices to ensure that such practices, including the procedures for the election of Directors, remain in the best interests of the Company, its shareholders and other relevant constituencies. The Board of Directors believes that its classified structure, which was implemented in 2014 when Vectrus became an independent, publicly traded company, provides important governance benefits, including stability and continuity in the leadership of the business and affairs of the Company. A classified board also allows Vectrus, as a relatively new public company, to focus on its long-term growth strategies and commitment to long-term shareholder value. The Board also recognizes the benefit of providing our shareholders an opportunity to vote on the performance of all our directors on an annual basis. However, after careful consideration, the Board believes that, at this time, the Company will continue to benefit from the classified board structure, but will continue to review this structure each year for appropriateness. The Company has opted out of the Indiana mandatory classified board structure requirements.

During 2019, the Vectrus Board of Directors held a total of eight meetings. Additionally in 2019, seven meetings of the Audit Committee, six meetings of the Nominating and Governance Committee, seven meetings of the Compensation and Personnel Committee (the "Compensation Committee") and three meetings of the Strategy Committee were held. In 2019 all Directors attended at least 87.5% of all meetings of the Vectrus Board and Committees on which they served. In conjunction with the regular meetings, those Directors who are not employees of Vectrus met privately (without management) following four of the five such Board meetings during the year. The Non-Executive Chairman presides over these private meetings. It is Company practice that all

Directors attend the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders. In 2019, all Directors attended the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. For 2020, the Board has scheduled five regular meetings.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

T he Company’s Corporate Governance Principles require that a majority of the Directors be independent directors. Additionally, the Company’s Non-Management Directors must meet the independence standards of the NYSE and the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles. The Charters of the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Governance Committees require all members of those committees to be independent directors, in accordance with the rules of the NYSE. The Strategy Committee Charter requires that a majority of the members of the Strategy Committee be independent directors in accordance with the rules of the NYSE.

Each year, the Company’s Directors and executive officers complete questionnaires designed to elicit information about potential related person transactions. Additionally, Directors and executive officers must promptly advise the Corporate Secretary if there are any changes to the information previously provided.

The Nominating and Governance Committee annually reviews and considers all relevant facts and circumstances with respect to the independence of each Director, including the Class III Directors standing for election, prior to recommending selection as part of the slate of Directors presented to the shareholders for election at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Nominating and Governance Committee reviews its recommendations with the full Board, which separately considers and evaluates the independence of Directors standing for re-election using the standards described above.

In February 2020, the Board considered whether there were any regular commercial sales and payments in the ordinary course of business to companies where any of the Directors serve as an employee, executive officer or director, as well as whether there were any charitable contributions with respect to each of the Non-Management Directors, including the Class III Directors standing for election at the Company’s 2020 Annual Meeting. The Board determined that there were no such sales to Vectrus or purchases by Vectrus, other than de minimis amounts.

In no instance was a Director a current employee, nor was an immediate family member of a Director a current executive

officer, of a company that has made payments to, or received payments from the Company for property or services in an amount which, in any of the last three fiscal years, exceeded the greater of $1 million, or 2% of each respective company’s consolidated gross revenues. The Board determined that there were no Company charitable contributions to any non-profit organizations affiliated with any of the Non-Management Directors. Accordingly, no contribution exceeded the greater of $1 million or 2% of the consolidated gross revenues of any non-profit organization. In addition, with respect to each Non-Management Director, Vectrus made no contribution of $120,000 or greater to any charitable or non-profit organization. The Board also considered that there were no contributions to any nonprofit organization, charity or private foundation over $10,000 requiring approval under the Company's Charitable Contribution Conflict of Interest Policy for Directors, Director Nominees and Senior Management. (See "Charitable Contribution Conflict of Interest Policy.")

In affirmatively determining the independence of Directors who serve on the Compensation Committee, the Board also considered other factors it considered relevant to determining whether any such Director has a relationship to the Company which is material to that Director’s ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a Compensation Committee member, including among other things, the source of compensation of each such Director, including any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fees paid by the Company, and whether the Director has an affiliate relationship with the Company, a subsidiary of the Company, or an affiliate of a subsidiary of the Company.

Based on its review, the Board of Directors has affirmatively determined, after considering all relevant facts and circumstances, that each of Messrs. Boston, Giuliano, Murdy, Parker, Pillmore, Waechter and Widman, and Ms. Howell is independent and none has a material relationship with the Company and that all Non-Management Directors, including all members of the Audit, Compensation, Nominating and Governance and Strategy Committees, meet NYSE corporate governance rules and independence standards for listed companies, which is also the independence standard for Directors as set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles. Material relationships can include commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable, and familial relationships, among others. Mr. Prow is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Vectrus and is not an independent Director.

Each of William F. Murdy, Melvin F. Parker and Stephen L. Waechter, the Directors standing for election as Class III Directors at the 2020 Annual Meeting, is independent.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors sets policy for Vectrus and advises and counsels the President and Chief Executive Officer and the executive officers who manage the Company’s business and affairs. The Board of Directors is responsible for assuring that, among other things:



l	the Company’s business is conducted in conformity with applicable laws and regulations;
l	the Company’s systems of financial reporting and internal controls are adequate and properly implemented and the Company has appropriate risk management structures in place;
l	there is continuity in the leadership of the Company;
l	management develops sound business strategies;
l	adequate capital and managerial resources are available to implement the business strategies;
l	the Company’s long-term strategies, significant investments in new businesses, joint ventures and partnerships and significant business acquisitions, including assessment of balance sheet impacts and other financial matters, are reviewed and approved; and
l	the Company’s operating plans, capital, research and development budgets are reviewed and approved.

In connection with its responsibility for overseeing the affairs of the Company, the Board seeks to keep itself informed about the Company's business and strategies. The Board is committed to being involved in the Company's strategic planning process throughout the year and discusses strategy at almost every Board meeting. Strategy is also discussed during regularly scheduled executive sessions without Company management present. This involvement enables the Board to provide continued guidance to management in formulating and developing a strategic plan that articulates the Company’s core strategies and imperatives.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES

The Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Principles for the Company, which provide, among other things, that the Board of Directors is responsible for selecting the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer in any way it considers in the best interests of the Company. The Board of Directors has determined that the Chairman of the Board should be a non-executive Chair, to provide additional guidance, advice, and counsel and to allow the President and Chief Executive Officer to focus on managing Vectrus businesses and strategy. The non-executive Chair presides at regularly scheduled private sessions of the Non-Management Directors and, with input from the Chief Executive Officer, establishes the agenda for meetings of the Board of Directors. The Corporate Governance Principles further provide that Directors must be able to devote the requisite time for preparation and attendance at regularly scheduled Board of Directors and Board of Directors Committee meetings, as well as be able to participate in other matters necessary for good corporate governance.

To help ensure that Directors are able to fulfill their commitments to the Company, the Corporate Governance Principles provide that Directors who are chief executive officers of publicly traded companies may serve on not more than one public company board (including the Vectrus Board of Directors) in addition to service on their own board, and other Directors who are not chief executive officers of publicly

traded companies may not serve on more than four public company boards (including the Vectrus Board of Directors). The Corporate Governance Principles and Committee Charters are reviewed by the Board at least annually and posted on the Company’s website at http://investors.vectrus.com/govdocs . A copy of the Corporate Governance Principles will be provided, free of charge, to any shareholder upon request to the Corporate Secretary of Vectrus.

LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

The Board of Directors believes that the decision as to whether to combine or separate the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board positions will depend on the facts and circumstances facing the Company at a given time and could change over time. In today’s challenging economic and regulatory environment, Directors, more than ever, are required to spend a substantial amount of time and energy in successfully navigating a wide variety of issues and in guiding the policies and practices of the companies they oversee. Although we do not have a formal policy with respect to separation of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions, we believe that having the positions separate allows our President and Chief Executive Officer to focus on running the day-to-day operations of our Company while our Chairman, who is an independent director, can devote his time to matters of Board oversight. The Board believes that its organizational structure provides a framework for it to provide independent leadership and engagement while ensuring appropriate insight into the operations and strategic issues of the Company. In addition, the Board believes that the Company’s current leadership structure contributes to the Board’s role in risk oversight of the Company.

COMMUNICATION WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Interested parties, including shareholders, may contact the Non-Executive Chairman, all outside Directors as a group, the entire Board of Directors, a committee of the Board of Directors or an individual Director by submitting a letter to the desired recipient in a sealed envelope labeled “Non-Executive Chairman,” “Outside Directors,” “Board of Directors,” or with the name of the Board Committee or a specific Director. This sealed envelope should be placed in a larger envelope and mailed to the Corporate Secretary, Vectrus, Inc. 2424 Garden of the Gods Road, Suite 300, Colorado Springs, CO, 80919. The Corporate Secretary will forward the sealed envelope to the designated recipient. Junk mail, advertisements, resumes, spam and surveys will not be forwarded to the Board or Board members. Abusive, threatening or otherwise inappropriate materials will also not be forwarded.

SHAREHOLDER OUTREACH

Our Board believes it is important to maintain an open dialogue with the Company's shareholders to understand their views on the Company, its strategy, governance, environmental and social matters and compensation practices. The Company has a program to communicate with our top institutional investors (representing approximately 70.5% of our outstanding shares) on a variety of topics throughout the year to seek input and provide perspective

on Company policies and practices and to ensure we are addressing any questions and concerns.

BOARD AND COMMITTEE ROLES IN RISK OVERSIGHT

The Board of Directors has primary responsibility for overall risk oversight, including the Company’s risk profile and management controls. The Audit Committee of the Board monitors the Company’s operational and regulatory risk management and risk assessment program, including risk mitigation processes. The Audit Committee's risk oversight responsibilities include regular reviews of the Company's cyber security program and cyber risk assessment. The head of internal audit has responsibility for assessing, monitoring and auditing the Company’s global risk profile, reports directly to the Audit Committee and reports on a functional basis to the Chief Financial Officer. The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors monitor financial liquidity and financing risk. The Audit Committee also oversees the Company's compliance program, including its Code of Conduct and Ethics and Compliance program. The Nominating and Governance Committee provides oversight of corporate governance and environmental, safety and health risks. The Compensation Committee reviews and assesses compensation and incentive program risks to ensure that the Company’s compensation programs encourage innovation and balance appropriate business risks and rewards without encouraging risk-taking behaviors which may have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Compensation Committee structures compensation so that unnecessary or excessive risk-taking behavior is discouraged and behaviors correlated with long-term value creation are encouraged. The Board and its Audit, Nominating and Governance and Compensation Committees receive regular reports with respect to the Company’s risk profile and risk management controls.

ANNUAL DIRECTOR EVALUATIONS

As required by our Corporate Governance Principles, the Board annually assesses its performance. In addition, each Committee conducts an annual assessment of its performance pursuant to its Charter. The Nominating and Governance Committee oversees and administers the annual performance evaluation process, including review and oversight of the appropriate methods, tools and questions used for conducting the evaluations of the performance of the Board, each Committee and members of the Board. The Nominating and Governance Committee reviews the results of the Board and Committee assessments, including comments provided, and shares them with the Chairman of the Board and each Committee Chair. The Board and each Committee then reviews and discusses the specific results and any actions needed based on this feedback.

In 2019, detailed anonymous surveys were used for the evaluations conducted for both the Board as a whole and each standing Committee. The surveys were designed to provide information pertaining to the competencies, behaviors and effectiveness of the Board, the Committees and the Directors and suggested areas for improvement. Annually, the Nominating and Governance Committee reviews the survey questions and updates them as appropriate to address new,

relevant topics or to emphasize particular areas. In addition, the Committee periodically includes self and peer assessments for each independent Director as part of the evaluation process and plans to do so again in 2021.

The Nominating and Governance Committee will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of the methods, tools, questions and focus to be used in future annual evaluations and the specific needs at the time. As a result, the methods, tools, questions and focus may vary in the future.

DIRECTOR SELECTION, COMPOSITION AND DIVERSITY

Directors of the Company must be persons of integrity, with significant accomplishments and recognized business stature. The Nominating and Governance Committee desires that the Board of Directors be diverse in terms of its viewpoints, professional experience, education and skills as well as race, gender and national origin. In addition, the Vectrus Corporate Governance Principles state that, as part of the membership criteria for new Board members, individuals must possess such attributes and experiences as are necessary to provide a broad range of personal characteristics including diversity, management skills, and technological, business and international experience. The Board utilizes an assessment process, which includes a director skills/qualifications matrix or similar analysis, to identify current skills and qualifications of Board members and those that may be desired in future Director candidates. Since the Spin-off in 2014, the composition of our Board has not changed.

On an annual basis, the Board of Directors assesses whether the mix of Directors is appropriate for the Company. In addition, the Nominating and Governance Committee assesses the effectiveness of these criteria by referring to the criteria when it periodically assesses the composition of the Board. To be considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee as a Director candidate, a nominee at a minimum must meet the requirements set forth in the Corporate Governance Principles.

The Board of Directors believes that the Company’s Directors, in the aggregate, provide the broad range of personal characteristics, attributes and experiences appropriate for the Company. When identifying candidates for the Board, the Board considers diverse candidates for membership on the Board and includes diversity as a specific factor when conducting a search. As part of its process in identifying new candidates to join the Board of Directors, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers whether and to what extent a candidate’s skills, attributes and experiences will individually and collectively complement the existing Board, recognizing that the Vectrus businesses and operations are diverse and global in nature.

The Nominating and Governance Committee also evaluates the Board’s needs for operational, technical, management, financial, international or other expertise.

Prior to recommending nominees for election as Directors, the Nominating and Governance Committee engages in a

deliberative, evaluative process to ensure each nominee possesses the skills and attributes that individually and collectively will contribute to an effective Board of Directors. Biographical information for each candidate for election as a Director is evaluated and, if deemed necessary by the Nominating and Governance Committee, candidates for election participate in interviews with existing Board members and management. Each candidate is subject to thorough background checks. Director nominees must be willing to commit the requisite time for preparation and attendance at regularly scheduled Board and Committee meetings and participation in other matters necessary for good corporate governance. The Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board will continue to review future candidates based on a wide range of qualifications to ensure the highest caliber of directors continue to represent our company.

The Nominating and Governance Committee may identify Director candidates through a variety of sources including search firms, personal references and business contacts. The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider Director nominees recommended by shareholders for election to the Company’s Board who meet the qualification standards described above and the other requirements for nomination including those set forth in the Nominating and Governance Charter, which is available at http://investors.vectrus.com/govdocs . The Nominating and Governance Committee also evaluates and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning appointment of Directors to Board Committees, selection of Board Committee chairpersons, Committee member qualifications, Committee member appointment and removal, Committee structure and operations and proposal of the Board slate for election at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, consistent with criteria approved by the Board of Directors.

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION IN THE WORKFORCE

The strength of our Company depends on a diverse workforce that reflects the world around us. We are committed to cultivating a diverse and inclusive environment that supports the development and advancement of all. We foster a feeling of connectedness in the workplace, support diversity of background, experience and thought, and support important initiatives to eliminate unconscious biases. Our approach to diversity and inclusion involves these key areas of focus:


•	People: Our goal is to attract, develop and retain a workforce that reflects the business and communities we support. We value diversity of thought, experience and backgrounds at all levels.


•	Environment: We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment that celebrates differences and encourages unique perspectives.


•	Leaders: We are promoting cultural agility among our leaders to ensure a more robust talent pipeline and leadership alignment and engagement. These goals will help us harness the innovative potential of an

inherently diverse workforce, as well as help drive our business initiatives.

•

Diversity Initiatives: Our diversity initiatives include leadership development and networking events, including an Annual Vectrus Women's Leadership Summit and a Minority Leadership Summit held during 2019. We seek to recruit diverse candidates through a rigorous talent slating process and professional minority organizations, including the Society for Hispanic Professional Engineers, the National Society for Black Engineers and the Society of Women Engineers. Our initiatives also include focus on Black History Month and Women's History Month.

Management reports annually to the Compensation Committee on the diversity of our workforce and the Company's initiatives.

NON-MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Non-Management Director compensation is determined by our Board of Directors with the assistance of the Nominating and Governance Committee and Pay Governance, LLC ("Pay Governance" or the "Compensation Consultant"). Non-Management Director compensation is reviewed on a periodic basis. In support of the Board’s review, Pay Governance compares Non-Management Director compensation components for Vectrus with director compensation

components paid for a sample of aerospace and defense companies with revenue comparable to Vectrus’ revenue.

The total annual compensation level for each Vectrus Non-Management Director is $200,000, comprised of $85,000 in cash and $115,000 in RSUs for each full-year tenure. The full-year tenure runs from the date of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to the day prior to the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Additional incremental pay for the full-year tenure includes a cash payment for the Audit Committee Chair in the amount of $15,000, and a cash payment of $10,000 for each of the Compensation Committee Chair, Nominating and Governance Committee Chair and the Strategy Committee Chair. The Non-Executive Chairman of the Board receives an additional $100,000, comprised of $50,000 in cash and $50,000 in RSUs for the full-year tenure. The incremental payments for the Committee Chairs and the Non-Executive Chairman were based on the significant responsibilities involved with these positions and reflect current competitive peer data provided to the Board by the Compensation Consultant.

On May 16, 2019, all of our Non-Management Directors received compensation for their service on the Board of Directors from May 16, 2019 to May 6, 2020, the day prior to the 2020 Annual Meeting. Mr. Prow, as a management Director, received no Director compensation. RSUs granted to Non-Management Directors vest in full on the business day immediately prior to the next Annual Meeting date. The grant date fair value of RSU awards is provided in footnote (2) to the table below.

The table below summarizes the compensation received by our Non-Management Directors for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Name	Restricted Stock Unit Awards
Louis J. Giuliano	4,295
Bradford J. Boston	2,993
Mary L. Howell	2,993

All Vectrus Non-Management Directors were granted RSUs under the 2014 Plan on May 16, 2019. For the equity component of the annual retainer, the number of RSUs was determined by dividing $115,000 by $38.42, the closing price per share of Vectrus, Inc. common stock on the grant date. The resulting number of RSUs was rounded to 2,993, the nearest whole number of units. Mr. Giuliano received RSUs equal to $165,000 divided by $38.42, representing $115,000 for the equity component of the annual retainer plus $50,000 for the equity component of the annual Non-Executive Chairman fee. The resulting number of RSUs for Mr. Giuliano was rounded to 4,295, the nearest whole number of units.

DIRECTOR EXPENSES

Vectrus reimburses Non-Management Directors for all business-related expenses they incur for travel to and from Board of Directors, Committee and shareholder meetings. The Company also reimburses costs related to educational programs and related subscriptions for directors and for other Company business-related expenses (including travel expenses of spouses if they are specifically invited to attend an event for appropriate business purposes). Director airfare is reimbursed at no greater than first-class travel rates.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

As permitted by its By-Laws, Vectrus indemnifies its Directors to the full extent permitted by law and maintains insurance to protect the Directors from liabilities, including certain instances where it could not otherwise indemnify them.

POLICIES FOR APPROVING RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

The Company and the Board have adopted formal written policies for evaluation of potential related person transactions, as that term is defined in the SEC’s rules for related person

disclosure, which provide for review and pre-approval of transactions which may or are expected to exceed $120,000 involving Non-Management Directors, Executive Officers, beneficial owners of five percent or more of the Company’s common stock or other securities and any immediate family of such persons. The Company’s policy generally groups transactions with related persons into two categories: (1) transactions requiring the approval of the Nominating and Governance Committee and (2) certain transactions, including ordinary course transactions below established financial thresholds, that are deemed pre-approved by the Nominating and Governance Committee. In reviewing related person transactions that are not deemed pre-approved for approval or ratification, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers the relevant facts and circumstances, including:



l	Whether terms or conditions of the transaction are generally available to third parties under similar terms or conditions;
l	Levels of interest or benefit to the related person;
l	Availability of alternative suppliers or customers; and
l	Benefit to the Company.

The Nominating and Governance Committee is deemed to have pre-approved certain transactions identified in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K that are not required to be disclosed even if the amount involved exceeds $120,000. In addition, any transaction with another company at which a related person’s only relationship is as an employee (other than an executive officer), director and/or beneficial owner of less than 10% of that company’s shares is deemed pre-approved; provided, however, that with respect to Directors, if a Director is a current employee, or an immediate family member is a current executive officer, of a company that has made payments to, or received payments from, the Company for property or services in an amount which, in any of the last three fiscal years, exceeds the greater of $1 million, or 2% of such other company’s consolidated gross revenues, such transaction shall be reviewed by the Nominating and Governance Committee and not be considered appropriate for automatic pre-approval. Regardless of whether a transaction is deemed pre-approved, all transactions in any amount are required to be reported to the Nominating and Governance Committee. Subsequent to the adoption of the written procedures above, the Company has followed these procedures regarding all reportable related person transactions.

The policy requires approval by the Nominating and Governance Committee for donations by the Company to any nonprofit organization, charity or private foundation in an amount or having a value over $10,000 if any Director, Director nominee or any of their immediate family members is associated with such entity. In addition, such approval is required in the case of a donation over that limit to such an entity by a Director, Director nominee or member of senior management where another Director or member of senior management is associated with the entity. During 2019, there were no donations that required approval under this policy.

ROLE OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors provides oversight on matters relating to the Company’s financial reporting process, seeks to ensure that the Company develops and maintains adequate financial controls and procedures, and monitors compliance with these processes. This includes responsibility for, among other things:



l	determination of qualifications, performance and independence of Deloitte, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm;
l	the appointment, compensation, retention, audit and oversight work of Deloitte in preparing or issuing audit reports and related work;
l	review of financial reports and other financial information provided by the Company, its systems of internal accounting and financial controls, and the annual independent audit of the Company’s financial statements;
l	oversight and review of procedures developed for consideration of accounting, internal accounting controls and auditing-related complaints;
l	review of risk assessment and risk management processes on a Company-wide basis; and
l	adoption of and monitoring the implementation and compliance with the Company’s Audit Services, Audit-Related Services and Non-Audit Services Policy.

The Audit Committee has oversight responsibility for confirming the scope and monitoring the progress and results of internal audits conducted by the Company’s internal auditors. The Audit Committee discussed with the Company’s internal auditors and Deloitte the plans for their respective audits. The Audit Committee met with the internal auditors and Deloitte, with and without management present, and discussed results of their examinations, their evaluation of the Company’s internal controls, and the Company’s financial reporting.

The Company’s management has primary responsibility for the financial statements, including the Company’s system of disclosure and internal controls. The Audit Committee may investigate any matter brought to its attention. In that regard, the Audit Committee has full access to all books, records, facilities and personnel of the Company and the Audit Committee may retain outside counsel, auditors or other independent experts to assist the Committee in performing its responsibilities. Any individual may also bring matters to the Audit Committee confidentially or on an anonymous basis,

by submitting the matter in a sealed envelope addressed to the “Audit Committee” to the Corporate Secretary who then forwards the sealed envelope to the Audit Committee. Junk mail, advertisements, resumes, spam and surveys will not be forwarded. Abusive, threatening or otherwise inappropriate materials will also not be forwarded.

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, which the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee review, and at least annually update and reaffirm. The Audit Committee Charter sets out the purpose, membership and organization, and key responsibilities of the Audit Committee.

COMPOSITION OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee is composed of four members of the Company’s Board. The Board of Directors has determined that each Audit Committee member meets the independence standards set out in the requirements of the NYSE currently in effect, including the Audit Committee independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. No member of the Audit Committee has any relationship with the Company that may interfere with the exercise of independence from management and the Company. All members of the Audit Committee, in the business judgment of the full Board of Directors, are financially literate and several have accounting or related financial management expertise.

REGULAR REVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

independence and has discussed with Deloitte their independence from management and the Company, any disclosed relationships and the impact of those relationships on Deloitte’s independence.

RECOMMENDATION REGARDING ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K

In performing its oversight function with regard to the 2019 financial statements, the Audit Committee relied on financial statements and information prepared by the Company’s management. It also relied on information provided by the internal audit staff as well as Deloitte.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
INTRODUCTION

The Compensation Committee is responsible for our executive compensation philosophy and programs. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves the compensation to be paid to our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and a group of executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers ("NEOs"). At our 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, our shareholders overwhelmingly approved our NEOs' compensation, with approximately 97.3% of the votes cast in favor of the proposal.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

VECTRUS' NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS FOR 2019 WERE:


•	Charles L. Prow, President and Chief Executive Officer;


•	Susan D. Lynch, Senior Vice President ("SVP") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO")


•	David A. Hathaway, SVP, Programs


•	Susan L. Deagle, SVP and Chief Growth Officer


•	Kevin T. Boyle, SVP, Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel


•	William B. Noon, Corporate Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer and former Acting CFO; and


•	Matthew M. Klein, former SVP and CFO.

(1) "EBITDA" is defined as operating income, adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization.

"Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as EBITDA, adjusted to exclude items that may include, but are not limited to, significant changes or credits that impact current results but are not related to our ongoing operations and unusual and infrequent non-operating items, M&A transaction and non-recurring integration costs, and LOGCAP V pre-operational legal costs that impact current results but are not related to our ongoing operations.

"EBITDA margin" is defined as EBITDA divided by revenue.

COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY

The Compensation Committee's compensation philosophy is to support Vectrus’ business strategy within the principles of competitiveness, full disclosure and consistent alignment with long-term value creation. Our philosophy encourages individual and group behaviors that balance risk and reward while supporting sustained growth and earnings performance. A substantial portion of executive compensation is tied to the Company’s internal business and financial performance and share price performance. If internal business and financial performance or share price performance falls below identified thresholds, at-risk incentive compensation is reduced or not paid at all. Our compensation philosophy is reflective of Vectrus’ industry and peers, and we will continue to seek alignment with market trends. The Compensation Committee has the flexibility to establish appropriate compensation policies to attract, motivate and retain our executives in the industry in which we operate.

PRINCIPAL CHANGE TO COMPENSATION PROGRAM IN 2019



PROGRAM		KEY CHANGE
Individual Goals for the 2019 Annual Incentive Plan	l	In March, 2019, the Compensation Committee approved individual strategic goals for the President & Chief Executive Officer and for each SVP for the 2019 Annual Incentive Plan. These goals reinforce the importance of certain key objectives within the individual's specific area of responsibility and allow the Compensation Committee to differentiate compensation among these executives based on their individual performance. These goals are weighted 20% for these executives.

PAY FOR PERFORMANCE

We link a large portion of our NEOs' compensation to performance. For instance, based on the elements of 2019 compensation for the CEO and the current CFO, at-risk compensation represented approximately 77% and 57%, respectively, of total compensation. Pay components for our NEOs for 2019 included base salary, Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”) awards, and long-term incentive awards, consisting of RSUs and Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") awards.

The 2019 AIP provides a cash payout if certain financial metrics, including adjusted revenue, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted days sales outstanding, new business wins, as well as individual strategic goals for SVPs and above, were met. The 2019 AIP performance goals, targets, results and actual payouts are discussed in more detail in "Compensation Program Objectives - Primary Compensation Components" below.



PAY COMPONENT - 2019 ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN (AIP)
PERFORMANCE DURING 2019		ACTUAL PAYOUT
l	Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share = $3.19 (versus the Compensation Committee-approved target of $3.58) (weighted 30%)	The Compensation Committee approved an actual bonus paid that ranged from 79.8% to 95.8% of target, depending on the individual. Achievement of financial goals was confirmed by our independent auditor.
l	Adjusted Revenue = $1,357.7 million (versus the Compensation Committee-approved target of $1,336.0 million) (weighted 10%)
l	New Business Wins = $355.0 million (versus the Compensation Committee-approved target of $191.2 million) (weighted 20%)
l	Adjusted Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) = 63.5 (versus the Compensation Committee-approved target of 60.5) (weighted 20%)
l	Individual Strategic Goals: As approved by the Compensation Committee (weighted 20%) for the Chief Executive Officer and SVPs.

The TSR awards represent 50% of the total long-term incentive awards. TSR awards align pay with performance by providing a cash long-term incentive linked to the Company's total shareholder return performance relative to the Aerospace and Defense companies in the S&P 1500 over a three-year performance period. The three-year performance period for the 2017 TSR awards concluded on December 31, 2019. Payment for the 2017 awards was made in January 2020 at 130.8% of target. This program and the performance results for the 2017 awards are discussed in more detail under the "Long-Term Incentive Program - 2019 Long-Term Incentive Awards" below.



KEY GOVERNANCE POLICIES AND PRACTICES RELATED TO COMPENSATION:
WE DO:
l	use an independent compensation consultant selected and hired by the Compensation Committee.
l	pay for both corporate and individual performance.
l	mitigate compensation risk through oversight, controls and appropriate incentives in our balanced compensation programs.
l	have equity award agreements that require both consummation of a change in control transaction and termination of employment for accelerated vesting ("double trigger").
l	have limited perquisites.
l	have an annual Say-on-Pay vote.
l	have a clawback policy that is also embedded in our equity incentive plan, our annual incentive plan and our award agreements.
l	have an anti-hedging and anti-pledging policy.
l	have meaningful stock ownership guidelines for Vectrus corporate officers and directors.
l	provide in our equity incentive plan for a minimum vesting period of one year for employee equity grants, and generally provide in our employee award agreements for vesting in equal annual installments over a three-year period for our restricted stock unit and stock option awards.

WE DO NOT:
l	reprice stock options.
l	guarantee minimum bonus payments.
l	provide tax gross-ups for perquisites or in connection with payments made in the event of a change in control; however, tax protection may be provided for costs associated with relocation.
l	provide for automatic base salary increases.
l	have fixed-term employment arrangements with our NEOs. All of our NEOs are at-will employees.
l	provide a traditional pension plan or a supplemental executive retirement plan.



INDIVIDUAL EXECUTIVE POSITIONS
COMPENSATION COMPARISONS

Vectrus has been an independent, publicly-traded company since September 2014. Initially, pay was set to approximate the 25th percentile of the marketplace. We continue to work towards setting total compensation for our NEOs closer to the median of competitive practice, assuming continued performance of the Company and the executive, subject to cost and affordability. The Compensation Committee supports this approach, based on the individual NEO's experience in their roles, their strong performance and the business conditions impacting the Company. The Compensation Committee, along with its independent compensation consultant, annually reviews current market compensation data for determining the path forward in setting the compensation program.

The Compensation Committee reviewed and assessed the performance of the NEOs for 2019 and will continue to review and assess the performance of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the other officers and authorize compensation actions it believes are appropriate and commensurate with relevant competitive data, the Company's business environment and the approved compensation program.

INDIVIDUAL EXECUTIVE POSITIONS - 2019 COMPENSATION INFORMATION

For 2019, the Compensation Committee approved a 2019 target bonus increase for Mr. Prow and base salary increases, effective March 2019, for Messrs. Hathaway, Noon and Klein, and Ms. Deagle, pursuant to external market data and an assessment of their performance as described below:


•	Charles L. Prow: The Committee set Mr. Prow's target bonus percent at 105% of base salary for 2019, an increase from 100% for 2018. Mr. Prow did not receive a salary increase in 2019. His total target compensation remained below the median of the market.

The base salary increases and total compensation, which were approved by the Compensation Committee, were determined following a review of market competitive survey data, as well as the individual's relevant experience, and to more closely align their compensation with the median of the competitive market and reflect their individual contributions to the Company. Mr. Boyle and Ms. Lynch did not receive salary increases in 2019 because they joined the Company in October 2018 and August 2019, respectively.

The table below sets out the NEOs' 2019 target compensation for annual base salary, annual incentive and long-term incentive targets as determined by the Compensation Committee.

2019 BASE SALARY AND TARGET COMPENSATION

(1)	This column reflects the target percentage of base salary approved for each NEO for the 2019 AIP award. The approved AIP formula for 2019 was based on performance measures and goals that would pay 96% of target for 100% achievement of the approved goals.

VECTRUS COMPETITIVE COMPENSATION

In reviewing compensation for the NEOs for the 2019 compensation program, the Compensation Committee used the general industry market data reflected in the 2018 Towers Watson U.S. Compensation Databank General Industry Executive Compensation Survey Report (“CDB”). The Compensation Committee considers the CDB as most representative of the companies that comprise the marketplace in which Vectrus competes for business talent. Data reviewed included competitive market information for each compensation component and total compensation. The Compensation Committee evaluated and determined target and actual compensation provided to each of our NEOs based on a review of the CDB general industry market data, which was adjusted via regression analysis to estimate the competitive market pay levels for a company of our revenue size. In determining executive compensation, the Compensation Committee also considered qualitative information discussed in "Qualitative Considerations" below, individual performance and business conditions in addition to recommendations from Vectrus' President and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer.

INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT

In 2019, the Compensation Committee continued to retain Pay Governance as its independent compensation consultant to assist the Committee in fulfilling its responsibilities under its Charter, the material terms of which are described in this Proxy Statement under "Compensation Committee Responsibilities." The Compensation Consultant’s engagement leader provided objective expert analyses, assessments, research and recommendations for executive compensation programs, incentives, perquisites and compensation standards. In this capacity, the Compensation Consultant provided services that related solely to work performed for and at the direction of the Compensation

Committee, including analysis of material prepared by Vectrus’ human resources, finance and legal departments for the Compensation Committee’s review. The Compensation Consultant attended each of the seven meetings held by the Compensation Committee during 2019 and provided no other services to Vectrus during 2019 other than those for and at the direction of the Compensation Committee.

During 2019, Vectrus’ human resources, finance and legal functions supported the work of the Compensation Committee, provided information, answered questions and responded to requests from the Compensation Consultant.

The Compensation Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the Compensation Consultant. The Compensation Committee has the sole authority to retain and terminate the services of consultants, including Pay Governance, with respect to compensation matters.

In connection with the engagement of the Compensation Consultant, the Compensation Committee considered various factors bearing on the independence of the Compensation Consultant, including, but not limited to, the following:



l	Provision of other services to Vectrus by the Compensation Consultant;
l	Business or personal relationships of the Compensation Consultant with members of the Compensation Committee or with executive officers;
l	The Compensation Consultant’s policies and procedures to prevent conflicts of interest;
l	Ownership of Vectrus common stock by the Compensation Consultant’s engagement leader; and
l	The amount of fees received by the Compensation Consultant.

The Compensation Committee affirmatively determined the Compensation Consultant was independent and has no

conflicts of interest with the Company or the Board of Directors.

OUR COMPENSATION CYCLE

The Compensation Committee reviews compensation in detail during the first quarter of each year. This review includes:



l	Annual performance reviews for the prior year;
l	Increases in base salary;
l	Annual Incentive Plan (bonus) awards for the prior year and target awards for the current year; and
l	Long-term incentive target awards, including RSUs and TSR awards.

The award date for long-term incentive awards is determined by the Compensation Committee and is typically in March, following the February meeting of the Compensation Committee. Meeting dates for the following year’s regular Board and Committee meetings are scheduled during the prior year. Target TSR awards reflect a three-year performance period beginning on January 1 of the year in which the Compensation Committee approves the award. Participants in the Long-Term Incentive Program receive notification of their awards as soon as reasonably practical after the grant date.

COMPENSATION PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

COMPENSATION OBJECTIVES, PRINCIPLES AND APPROACHES

The Vectrus compensation program objectives, principles and approaches reflect the Company's business needs and strategy, as detailed below:



OBJECTIVE	GENERAL PRINCIPLE	APPROACH
Attract, incentivize and retain talented and experienced leaders.	Design an executive compensation program to attract, incentivize and retain high performing executives.	Target total direct compensation approximating the 50th percentile of competitive practice. Review current competitive market compensation to structure movement of NEO compensation toward the competitive median of general industry companies in the CDB, as adjusted for revenue size.
Align at-risk compensation with corporate and individual performance.	Align the measures of performance in our compensation programs with measures key to the success of our business. If our business succeeds, our shareholders will benefit.	Provide incentive opportunities based on corporate and individual performance to drive shareholder value.
Align at-risk compensation with levels of executive responsibility.	As executives advance in the Company, the leverage of at-risk pay relative to fixed pay increases.	Structure NEO compensation so that a substantial portion of compensation is at risk for executives with greater levels of responsibility.

PRIMARY COMPENSATION COMPONENTS



NEO COMPENSATION	=	BASE SALARY	+	ANNUAL INCENTIVE	+	LONG-TERM INCENTIVES

BASE SALARY – Base salary comprises the fixed component of total compensation for Mr. Prow and the other NEOs. Salary is a competitive component of pay that is aligned with the NEO's position, experience and criticality of the required competencies. It is not a risk-based element of compensation.

ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN (AIP) AWARDS – The Compensation Committee determined that the four corporate metrics noted below would be most closely predictive of optimal operating performance in 2019 for Vectrus. For 2019, 80% of the awards were based on the achievement of these corporate metrics and 20% of the awards were based on the achievement of individual strategic goals.

EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS): This is a market-based metric recognized as a standard by investors and analysts. For 2019 the Compensation Committee used a metric of Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, as discussed below.

TOTAL REVENUE: Revenue reflects successful recognition of contracted revenue, recompetes and emphasis on growth through new revenue streams. Revenue is defined as adjusted revenue as discussed below.

NEW BUSINESS WINS: Winning new business is a critical focus for our Company. New Business Wins includes any new business contract award notification during the calendar year, recompetes, contract extensions and add-on work to existing contracts.

DAYS SALES OUTSTANDING (DSO): DSO is an important operating efficiency metric that measures the number of days it takes to turn accounts receivable into cash. DSO is calculated using a five (5) point average of the DSO for Q4 of the prior year and each of the four quarters of the performance year. DSO is defined as adjusted DSO, as discussed below.

INDIVIDUAL STRATEGIC GOALS: The Compensation Committee approved individual strategic goals for each of the NEOs, except for Mr. Noon, for the 2019 AIP. The use of individual goals balances the executive's shared responsibility to achieve corporate goals with the desire to motivate the executives to achieve goals within the individual's specific area of responsibility. The individual goals also reinforce the importance of certain key objectives within the individual's specific area of responsibility and allow the Compensation Committee to differentiate compensation among these executives based on their individual performance. It also strengthens the executive's accountability. See "Individual Strategic Goals and Results for 2019" below.

The Compensation Committee was responsible for the administration of the AIP for 2019. The Compensation Committee approved an annual incentive plan design for the business as described below.



2019 AIP METRICS	PERFORMANCE PERCENTAGE
Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS)	30%
Adjusted Revenue	10%
New Business Wins (NBW)	20%
Adjusted Days Sales Outstanding (DSO)	20%
Individual Strategic Goals *	20%

(*) The Compensation Committee did not assign a specific weighting to any of the individual goals, but reviewed each executive's performance against his or her individual goals in the aggregate. For Mr. Noon, although he was not assigned specific individual goals during his tenure as Acting CFO, 20% of his AIP award was based on an assessment of his individual performance and contributions.

AIP OPERATIONAL OBJECTIVES

(*) For performance results between the minimum and maximum thresholds, the performance percentage achieved for that metric is calculated on a non-linear slope pre-approved by the Compensation Committee for the performance year. Actual results may range from zero to 200% of target.

(**) For Mr. Noon, see note under "Primary Compensation Components" above.

2019 AIP AWARDS PAID IN 2020 – On February 26, 2020, the 2019 AIP awards for the NEOs were approved by the Compensation Committee for payment on or about March 13, 2020. Mr. Prow conducted a detailed assessment of each of the other NEO's performance against their individual goals. Based on the financial results and achievement of individual goals, Mr. Prow recommended the AIP awards for those NEOs. In the case of Mr. Noon, who was not assigned individual goals, his overall individual performance and contributions were considered in Mr. Prow's assessment and recommendation. In addition, Mr. Prow provided a detailed self-assessment to the Committee with regard to his own performance against his individual goals. The approved 2019 AIP awards for NEOs are included in the Summary Compensation Table in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column.

The performance and payout percentages for each component of the AIP were as follows:



Metric (all $ amounts in millions, except per share data and DSO)	Performance Target at 100.0% Payment and Weighting (1)		2019 Performance	Performance Percentage of Target	Payout Percentage of Target (1)	Weighted Attainment
Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share	$3.58	30.0%	$3.19	89.1%	60.9%	18.3%
Adjusted Revenue	$1,336.0	10.0%	$1,357.7	101.6%	94.8%	9.5%
New Business Wins	$191.2	20.0%	$355.0	185.6%	200.0%	40.0%
Adjusted Days Sales Outstanding	60.5	20.0%	63.5	95.0%	0.0%	0.0%
Individual Strategic Goals (discussed below)		20.0%

(1) Attainment of all of the 2019 AIP performance goals would result in a payout of 96.0% of target.

“Adjusted Net Income” is defined as net income, adjusted to exclude items that may include, but not limited to, other income, significant charges or credits that impact the current results that are not related to our ongoing operations and unusual and infrequent non-operating items or adjustments, such as excluding the impact of acquisitions in the year of the acquisition, if unplanned and the exclusion of Merger and Acquisition costs, integration costs, and LOGCAP V pre-operational legal costs.

“Adjusted Revenue” is defined as GAAP Revenue, adjusted to exclude the impact of acquisitions in the year of the acquisition, if unplanned.

"Adjusted Days Sales Outstanding" is defined as reported DSO, adjusted to exclude the impact of acquisitions in the year of the acquisition, if unplanned.



	Year Ended December 31, 2019

(1) This column reflects the target percent of base salary approved for each NEO for his or her 2019 annual incentive award. For performance year 2019, Mr. Prow's annual incentive target as a percent of base salary was increased from 100% to 105% to position his target cash compensation to be more competitive with the market. The approved annual incentive plan formula for 2019 was based on performance measures and goals that would pay 96% of target for 100% achievement of the approved goals. Mr. Klein resigned as SVP and Chief Financial Officer effective April 15, 2019 and therefore did not receive a bonus for 2019. Mr. Noon served as Acting Chief Financial Officer from April 15, 2019 until Ms. Lynch was appointed SVP and Chief Financial Officer effective August 7, 2019.

(2) The Compensation Committee evaluated the extent to which Messrs. Prow, Hathaway and Boyle and Mses. Deagle and Lynch achieved their individual strategic goals and assessed Mr. Noon's individual performance and contributions. See tables below.

(3) Ms. Lynch's award was prorated, based on five months of service in 2019.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PROGRAM

2019 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARDS

Long-term incentive awards are intended to directly tie long-term compensation to long-term value creation and shareholder return. The 2019 long-term incentive program provided for a combination of TSR awards and RSUs to comprise the total long-term incentive award for each NEO. These components are incentives for absolute stock price performance and appreciation as well as TSR performance relative to the specific group of companies referenced below. The Compensation Committee set vesting terms for RSUs based on the Compensation Consultant's review and guidance regarding current competitive practice and its assessment of appropriate vesting terms and conditions for Vectrus. In determining the total long-term incentive award for each NEO, the Committee also considered individual performance.

The Compensation Committee weighted the 2019 long-term incentive awards as follows:

The 2019 long-term incentive awards for all NEOs were granted on March 4, 2019. A valuation based on the grant date was used to determine the number of RSUs granted pursuant to this allocation. The number of RSUs granted on March 4, 2019 was based on $27.74, the closing price of Vectrus common stock on the grant date.

The following table sets forth the value of 2019 long-term incentive award amounts for the NEOs granted during 2019, as determined by the Compensation Committee.



Named Executive Officer	Restricted Stock Unit Award Value ($)	Restricted Stock Unit Awards (# of Units)	Relative Total Shareholder Return Target Award ($)
Named Executive Officer	Represents 50% of total award value		Represents 50% of total award value
Charles L. Prow	$800,000	28,839	$800,000
Susan D. Lynch	$225,000	5,176	$225,000
David A. Hathaway	$125,000	4,506	$125,000
Susan L. Deagle	$125,000	4,506	$125,000
Kevin T. Boyle	$125,000	4,506	$125,000
William B. Noon	$75,000	2,704	$75,000
Matthew M. Klein*	$212,500	7,660	$212,500

*Mr. Klein's awards were forfeited because he resigned from the Company effective April 15, 2019.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT COMPONENT

The Compensation Committee reviewed all proposed grants of RSUs to NEOs prior to their award, including awards based on performance, retention-based awards and awards contemplated for new employees as part of employment offers. Grants of RSUs provide executives with stock ownership of unrestricted shares after the restrictions lapse. NEOs were granted RSU awards because, in the judgment of the Compensation Committee and based on management’s recommendations, these individuals were in positions most likely to assist in the achievement of the Company’s long-term value creation goals and to create increased shareholder value over time. RSUs granted in 2019 vest in one-third annual installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date.

RELATIVE TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN (TSR) AWARD COMPONENT

The TSR performance design for 2019 - 2021 compares the Company’s TSR performance relative to the TSR performance of the Aerospace and Defense companies in the S&P 1500 Index. In designing the program, the Compensation Committee determined that this would be an appropriate index for Vectrus to be measured against for relative total shareholder return performance. The Compensation Committee also determined to measure performance in a balanced manner with the following four performance periods weighted equally at 25%:

January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019;

January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020;

January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021; and

January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021.

The actual award payout factor will be determined based on the average of the payout factors for each of the four performance periods, determined as follows:



If the Company’s TSR performance relative to that of the Aerospace and Defense companies in the S&P 1500 Index is:	The Payout Factor is:
Less than the 35th percentile	0%
At the 35th percentile	50%
At the 50th percentile	100%
At the 80th percentile	200%

Actual results between the 35th percentile and the 80th percentile will be interpolated.

The potential award payout is capped at 200% of the target award as the Compensation Committee believes that having a cap helps mitigate excessive or inappropriate risk-taking.

VECTRUS TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN AWARDS GRANTED IN 2017

The Compensation Committee approved and granted the 2017 TSR awards in March 2017. The awards were subject to a three-year performance period beginning January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019 and measured in four individual periods, weighted equally, as follows: January 1, 2017 - December 31, 2017; January 1, 2018 - December 31, 2018; January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2019; and January 1, 2017 - December 31, 2019.

Following the end of the three-year performance period, Vectrus TSR performance was calculated for each of the four individual periods, relative to the Aerospace and Defense companies in the S&P 1500. Results are indicated below:



Individual Performance Period	Vectrus Percentile - Performance vs. Aerospace & Defense Companies in the S&P 1500 *	Payout Factor
January 1, 2017 - December 31, 2017	70.3 percentile	167.7%
January 1, 2018 - December 31, 2018	4.10 percentile	0.0%
January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2019	100.0 percentile	200.0%
January 1, 2017 - December 31, 2019	66.6 percentile	155.3%
Average Payout Factor:		130.80%

(*) Performance below the 35th percentile rank versus the Aerospace and Defense companies in the S&P 1500 Index results in a 0% Payout Factor for the applicable performance period. Payout percentages for performance between the 35th and 80th percentile rank are interpolated.

Following certification of Vectrus performance for the 2017 TSR awards, the Compensation Committee approved payouts in January 2020 at 130.8% of the target award. Payments in January 2020 to the NEOs were as follows:



Named Executive Officer	2017 Target Award	Payout at 130.8%
Charles L. Prow	$450,000	$588,600
David A. Hathaway	$125,000	$163,500

Mr. Boyle and Ms. Lynch did not receive a 2017 TSR award because Mr. Boyle joined the Company in October 2018 and Ms. Lynch joined the Company in August 2019. Mr. Klein did not receive a 2017 award payout because he resigned from the Company effective April 15, 2019. TSR awards are discussed in more detail above at "Relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) Award Component."

POST-EMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION

The Vectrus employer match contribution is 50% up to 8% of employee-elected deferrals based upon annual base compensation. All contributions are 100% vested.

Vectrus also established and maintains a non-qualified, unfunded Vectrus Systems Corporation Excess Savings Plan to provide key employees an opportunity to earn benefits in excess of the benefits that may be earned under the Vectrus 401(k) Plan. This plan is discussed in more detail in “Non-qualified Deferred Compensation for 2019” below.

SEVERANCE PLAN ARRANGEMENTS

The plans discussed below are described in more detail in "Payments Upon a Termination or Change in Control." The severance plans apply to key Vectrus employees as defined by Section 409A. The Vectrus severance plan arrangements

are not considered in determining other elements of compensation. All of the Vectrus NEOs were covered under the Senior Executive Severance Play Plan and the Special Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan.

SENIOR EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PAY PLAN

The exceptions to severance payments are:



l	the executive terminates his or her own employment;
l	the executive’s employment is terminated for cause; or
l	if the executive accepts employment or refuses comparable employment with a purchaser in a divestiture situation.

No severance is provided for termination for cause because the Company believes employees terminated for cause should not receive additional compensation. No severance is provided where an executive accepts or refuses comparable employment in a divestiture situation because the executive had the opportunity to receive employment income from another party under comparable circumstances. All of the NEOs, except for Mr. Noon, are covered under this plan. See "Other Severance Plan" below.

SPECIAL SENIOR EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PAY PLAN

The purpose of this plan is to provide compensation in the case of termination of employment in connection with an Acceleration Event (defined in "Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control"). The provisions of this plan are specifically designed to address the inability of senior executives to influence the Company's future performance after certain change in control events. The plan is structured to encourage executives to act in the best interests of shareholders by providing for certain compensation and retention benefits and payments, including change in control provisions, in the case of an Acceleration Event.

The purposes of these provisions are to:



l	provide for continuing cohesive operations as executives evaluate a transaction, which, without change in control protection, could be personally adverse to the executive;
l	keep executives focused on preserving value for shareholders;
l	retain key talent in the face of potential transactions; and
l	attract talented employees in the competitive marketplace.

As discussed above, this plan provides severance benefits for covered executives, including any NEO whose employment was terminated by the Company without cause, or where the covered executive terminated his or her employment for good reason within two years after the occurrence of an acceleration event as described below (including a termination due to death or disability) or if during the two-year period following an Acceleration Event, the covered executive had grounds to resign with good reason or the covered executive’s employment was terminated in contemplation of an Acceleration Event that ultimately occurred.

The plan is designed to put the executive in the same position, from a compensation and benefits standpoint, as he or she would have been in without the Acceleration Event. With respect to incentive plan awards, since the executive would no longer have the ability to influence the corporate objectives

upon which the awards were based, the plan provides that any AIP awards be paid out at target.

OTHER SEVERANCE PLAN

Mr. Noon is covered under another Company severance plan, which provides severance benefits to certain employees whose employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause. Severance pay under this plan is determined by length of service and level and may not exceed 52 weeks of pay.

CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS

As described more fully in "Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control," the Compensation Committee has provided for treatment of short-term and long-term incentive plans, severance arrangements and the excess savings plan upon a change in control.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS AND PERQUISITES

Vectrus executives are eligible to participate in Vectrus’ broad-based employee benefits programs, including medical, dental, vision coverage, group life insurance, and other specified benefit plans according to the plan documents.

PERQUISITES FOR THE NEOs

Vectrus provides only those perquisites that it considers to be reasonable and consistent with competitive practice. Mr. Prow received a housing allowance in January and February, 2019. He also received a lump-sum payment in 2019 associated with his relocation to Colorado. No perquisites were provided to any other NEOs. (See the "All Other Compensation Table.") The Compensation Committee continues to review benefits and perquisites to assure they are reasonable and consistent with competitive practice.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS AND POLICIES

CLAWBACK POLICY

The Board of Directors has adopted a clawback policy to provide for recoupment of performance-based compensation if the Board of Directors determines that a senior executive has engaged in fraud or willful misconduct. This would include annual cash incentive and bonus awards and all forms of equity-based compensation to the extent such awards are performance-based. If, in the Board of Directors’ view, the compensation related to Vectrus’ financial performance would have been lower if it had been based on the restated results, the Board of Directors will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, seek recoupment from that senior executive of any portion of such compensation as it deems appropriate after a review of all relevant facts and circumstances. The NEOs, Senior Vice Presidents, Corporate Vice Presidents, executives who are direct reports to the President and CEO and their direct reports are covered by this policy.

EQUITY GRANT POLICY - CONSIDERATION OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION

Vectrus equity-based awards granted to NEOs, senior and other executives, and equity-based awards granted to Directors, are awarded and priced on the same date as the approval date or a subsequent date approved by the Compensation Committee for administrative reasons. Vectrus may also make equity-based grants in the case of the promotion of an existing employee or hiring of a new employee. These grants may be made at a time Vectrus is in possession of material non-public information related to the promotion or the hiring of a new employee or other matters. Vectrus does not time its release of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation, and executive compensation decisions are not timed to the release of material non-public information.

CONSIDERATION OF TAX AND ACCOUNTING IMPACTS

Section 162(m)- Section 162(m) of the Code as in effect prior to the enactment of the Tax Act in December 2017 placed a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount of compensation that Vectrus could deduct in any one year with respect to its "covered employees," which consisted of its Chief Executive Officer and the three other highest-paid named executive officers, other than the Chief Financial Officer. There was an exception to the $1,000,000 limitation for performance-based compensation meeting certain requirements.

The Tax Act retained the $1,000,000 deduction limit, but repealed the performance-based compensation exemption from the deduction limit and expanded the definition of “covered employees,” effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. Consequently, compensation paid in 2018 and later years to NEOs in excess of $1,000,000 is not deductible unless it qualifies for transitional relief applicable to certain binding, written performance-based compensation arrangements that were in place as of November 2, 2017.

The Compensation Committee generally intends to continue to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) as it existed prior to the Tax Act with respect to performance-based compensation in excess of $1,000,000 payable under outstanding awards granted before November 2, 2017 under our 2014 Plan in order to qualify them for the transitional relief. However, no assurance can be given that the compensation associated with these awards will qualify for the transitional relief, due to ambiguities and uncertainties as to the application and interpretation of the revised Section 162(m) and the related requirements for transitional relief.

Section 409A - Vectrus plans are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable. While Vectrus endeavors to comply with other applicable sections of the Code with respect to compensation, the Compensation Committee did not consider other tax implications when designing Vectrus’ compensation programs.

Excise Taxes - Vectrus provides “best-net” provisions with respect to any excise tax triggered by a change-in-control. Under these provisions, if payments triggered by a change-in-control would be subject to an excise tax, then either payments would be reduced by the amount needed to avoid triggering the tax, or no reduction of payments would occur, depending on which alternative left the executive in the better after-tax position.

POLICY AGAINST HEDGING, PLEDGING, SPECULATION IN COMPANY STOCK AND INSIDER TRADING

Vectrus has a policy that prohibits employees and Directors from taking advantage of, disclosing, or using any confidential information for the purpose of personal gain, including buying, selling, or trading in any Vectrus security. The policy includes prohibitions for Corporate Vice Presidents and above against hedging or pledging Vectrus securities, speculation or other investments where the shareowner’s economic interest is disassociated from share ownership. These prohibited transactions encompass the purchase of financial instruments, including short sales, forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, puts, calls or other derivative securities that are speculative in nature or designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of any Vectrus security (other than exercises of Company granted stock options). The Board of Directors has adopted a parallel policy that applies to Directors. In addition, Directors must receive specific written approval prior to entering into any transaction involving Vectrus securities. Directors and Corporate Vice Presidents and above also annually receive specific instructions with respect to trading in equity securities of Vectrus to ensure compliance with the Company's hedging, pledging, speculation and insider trading policies.

BUSINESS RISK AND COMPENSATION

Compensation across the enterprise is structured so that unnecessary or excessive risk-taking behavior is discouraged. Total compensation for senior officers is heavily weighted toward long-term compensation consistent with the Vectrus compensation philosophy, which is focused on long-term value creation. This focus on long-term compensation discourages behaviors that encourage short-term risks. The President and Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer attend those portions of the Compensation Committee meetings at which plan features and design configurations of annual and long-term incentive plans are considered and approved. Overall enterprise risk is reviewed and considered at the Committee and Board meetings, providing additional important information to the Compensation Committee.

Vectrus management recently conducted a risk assessment of our compensation policies and programs, including our executive compensation programs. This risk assessment is conducted annually. Vectrus management reviewed and discussed the findings of the assessment with the Compensation Committee and the full Board of Directors which concluded that our compensation programs are

designed with an appropriate balance of risk and reward in relation to our overall business strategy and do not encourage excessive risk-taking behavior. As a result, we do not believe that risks relating to our compensation programs are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Compensation Committee reviewed management’s summary on the review and assessment of such compensation programs and approved these conclusions.

The Compensation Committee considered risk implications of our compensation programs during its deliberations on the design of our 2019 executive compensation programs, with the goal of appropriately balancing short-term and long-term performance.

The following table summarizes representative Vectrus compensation components or policies and relevant risk mitigation factors:

RISK ASSESSMENT ACROSS THE ENTERPRISE



VECTRUS COMPENSATION COMPONENT OR POLICY	RISK MITIGATION FACTOR
Base Salary	Based on market rates. Provides stability and minimizes risk-taking incentives.
Annual Incentive Plan	l	AIP design emphasizes overall performance and collaboration across the enterprise.
	l	AIP components focus on metrics that encourage operating performance and that differ from those used for long-term incentive awards.
	l	Individual AIP components and total AIP awards are capped.
	l	Payments are made only after external audit review and Compensation Committee certification of performance to metrics and approval of the payments.
Long-Term Incentive Awards -RSUs	RSUs vest annually in one-third increments over a three-year period.
-Total Shareholder Return Awards	TSR awards are based on relative share price performance over four separate periods (e.g., 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2019-2021) during a three-year cycle and encourage behaviors focused on long-term goals, while discouraging behaviors focused on short-term risks. Relative TSR is a different metric from those used for AIP awards.
Perquisites	Limited perquisites are based on competitive market data. (See "Employee Benefits and Perquisites - Perquisites for the NEOs.")
Severance	Severance plans are maintained by the Company in the event of termination without cause or in certain circumstances following a change in control of the Company.
Clawback Policy	Provides mechanism for senior executive compensation recapture in certain situations involving fraud or willful misconduct.
Officer Share Ownership Guidelines	Vectrus officers are required to own Vectrus shares or share equivalents up to 5 X base salary, depending on the level of the officer. In addition, the officers are required to hold shares until their guidelines are met. Share ownership guidelines align executive and shareholder interests and discourage executives from focusing on short-term results without regard for longer-term consequences.
Prohibition Against Pledging or Hedging or Speculation in Vectrus Securities	Vectrus policy prohibits Directors and Corporate Vice Presidents and above from pledging or hedging or speculative trading in and out of Vectrus securities, including short sales, forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, puts, calls or other derivative securities that are speculative in nature or designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of any Vectrus security (other than exercises of Company granted stock options).
Change in Control	Under the 2014 Plan and award agreements, a double trigger requires both consummation of the transaction and a qualifying termination for accelerated vesting of outstanding long-term incentive grants.
Pension Plans	Vectrus does not provide a traditional pension plan or supplemental executive retirement plan.

CEO PAY RATIO

In accordance with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, we are required to calculate and report an estimate of the ratio of the total compensation of our CEO to the total compensation of our median employee. The intended purpose of the disclosure is to provide a reasonable measure of the relationship of pay between the CEO and the median paid employee. His compensation is discussed in detail in "Individual Executive Positions - 2019 Compensation Information" earlier in this Proxy Statement. The Company believes its compensation philosophy and process represent a responsible approach toward CEO pay. The required disclosure is presented as follows:



Median Employee Total Annual Compensation:	$52,694
CEO Total Annual Compensation:	$3,048,063
Ratio of CEO Pay to Median Employee Compensation:	57.8 to 1.0

In determining the median employee, the Company prepared a listing of all employees as of October 31, 2019. This includes U.S. and non-U.S. employees who were full-time, part-time or temporary employees and those on an approved leave of absence. Approximately 6,000 subcontract employees were excluded from the analysis because their compensation is determined by unaffiliated third parties. The data examined were W-2 wages or foreign equivalent compensation paid from November 1, 2018 through October 31, 2019. The median was calculated directly from the arrayed data using taxable wages as the chosen consistently applied compensation measure ("CACM"). Once the median employee was determined, annual total compensation was calculated for that individual using the Summary Compensation Table rules for both the CEO and the median employee. As of October 31, 2019 the Company employed approximately 7,000 persons, excluding the CEO and approximately 200 employees from Advantor, which the Company acquired in July 2019.

GRANTS OF PLAN-BASED AWARDS IN 2019

The following table summarizes awards made to our NEOs during the year ended December 31, 2019. Grants made to NEOs during 2019 were made under the 2014 Plan. The table includes the grant date for equity-based awards, the estimated future payouts under non-equity incentive plan awards (which consist of potential payouts for 2019 under the AIP), and estimated future payouts under the long-term incentive awards, which consist of potential payouts related to the TSR awards granted in 2019 for the 2019 - 2021 performance period. The table also provides the number of shares underlying all other stock awards, which consist of RSU awards, and the grant date fair value of each equity award computed under FASB ASC Topic 718.

(1)	Ms. Lynch joined the Company effective August 1, 2019 and received a 2019 long-term incentive award on August 8, 2019 in connection with her offer of employment.

(2)

Amounts reflect the threshold, target, and maximum payment levels for commensurate performance under the AIP described above in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Compensation Program Objectives” if certain performance metrics are met. These potential payments are based on achievement of specific performance metrics and individual goals and are completely at risk. The target award is computed based upon the applicable range of net estimated payments denominated in dollars where the target award is equal to 100% of the award potential, the threshold is equal to 50% of target and the maximum is equal to 200% of target. The approved AIP formula for 2019 was based on performance measures and totals that would pay 96% of target for 100% achievement of the approved goals. Actual AIP awards for 2019 are shown in the Summary Compensation Table.

(3)

Amounts reflect the threshold, target, and maximum payment levels, respectively, which are denominated in dollars, if an award payout is achieved under the Company's 2019 TSR awards. The 2019 TSR awards are subject to a three-year performance period from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021. The potential payments are based on achievement of specific approved performance as further described above in "Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Long-Term Incentive Program - Relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) Award Component." TSR awards are completely at-risk compensation and payments, if any, are made in cash after the end of the performance period. The target amount shown is the grant date fair value.


(4)	Amounts reflect the number of RSUs granted in 2019 to the NEOs. RSUs granted to NEOs vest in one-third annual installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant. The numbers of shares underlying the RSU awards granted on March 4, 2019 were determined based on $27.74, the closing price of Vectrus common stock on March 4, 2019

and RSU awards granted on August 8, 2019 were determined based on $43.47, the closing price of Vectrus common stock on August 8, 2019. During the restriction period, holders of RSUs do not have voting rights.


(5)	Stock options were not granted in 2019.


(6)	Amounts in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 for equity awards granted to the NEOs in 2019.


(7)	Mr. Klein was not eligible for a 2019 annual incentive plan award and has no outstanding 2019 long-term incentive awards because he resigned from the Company effective April 15, 2019.

SPECIAL COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS

CHARLES L. PROW EMPLOYMENT LETTER AND OTHER MATTERS

On November 30, 2016, Vectrus and Charles L. Prow entered into an employment letter (the "Prow Employment Letter") setting forth the terms and conditions of his employment as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The material terms of the Prow Employment Letter are set forth below.


1.	Compensation and Benefits.


a.	Annual Base Salary. Mr. Prow’s initial base salary was $600,000.


b.	2017 Target Annual Incentive. Mr. Prow is eligible to participate in the Company’s Annual Incentive Plan with a target award of 100% of his annual base salary, starting in 2017.

Long-Term Incentives. Mr. Prow is eligible for annual long-term incentive awards with an aggregate long-term incentive target for 2017 of $900,000 under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Program, subject to approval by the Compensation Committee. It was anticipated that fifty percent (50%) of his 2017 long-term incentive award would be in the form of a cash incentive opportunity tied to relative total shareholder return; thirty percent (30%) would be in the form of time-vesting RSUs; and twenty percent (20%) would be in the form of time-vesting non-qualified stock options. In addition, as a one-time incentive, on December 8, 2016, he received a special RSU grant valued at $600,000 with annual vesting over three years.


d.	Other Benefit Programs. Mr. Prow is eligible to participate in the Company’s compensation and benefit plans, policies and arrangements that are applicable to other executives, including the Company’s Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan and Special Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan. Mr. Prow is an at-will employee.

Housing Costs. On February 24, 2017, the Compensation Committee approved a housing allowance for Mr. Prow in the amount of $3,000 per month. Mr. Prow, who was hired in December 2016 and worked primarily at the Company’s Reston, Virginia office until his recent relocation to Colorado Springs in January 2019, was expected to spend a substantial amount of time in Colorado Springs, Colorado (the location of the Company’s headquarters). The Committee approved the housing allowance, which was not grossed up for taxes,

following the Company’s cost analysis that indicated that the allowance would be less expensive than estimated hotel costs

for his visits to Colorado Springs. The Company previously paid a total of $2,827 in 2017 for short-term apartment rental costs in Colorado Springs. The housing allowance was discontinued effective March 2019.

(2)

The aggregate value realized on the date of vesting of the RSUs is based on the average of high and low prices of Vectrus common stock on the date of vesting, multiplied by the number of shares acquired upon vesting. The value realized for these NEOs is based on $28.07 per share on the vesting dates of March 3, 2019 and March 4, 2019, $27.24 on the vesting date of March 5, 2019, $38.35 per share on the vesting date of May 8, 2019, $43.20 per share on the vesting date of October 17, 2019, $44.91 per share on the vesting date of October 22, 2019 and $50.35 per share on the vesting date of December 8, 2019, as calculated below. As December 8, 2019 fell on a weekend, $50.35 represents the average of the high and low prices of Vectrus common stock on the next business day on December 9, 2019.

PENSION BENEFITS

Prior to the Spin-off, the NEOs participated in pension plans provided by Exelis. Vectrus has not adopted a pension plan, and does not provide pension benefits to the NEOs.

NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION FOR 2019

EXCESS SAVINGS PLAN

The Vectrus Systems Corporation Excess Savings Plan provides our key employees with an opportunity to earn retirement savings benefits in excess of the retirement benefits they may contribute under our 401(k) Plan. Section 415 of the Code limits the amount of compensation that can be used to determine employee and employer contribution amounts ($280,000 in 2019) to the 401(k) Plan. The benefit that is provided to an employee under an excess benefit plan generally amounts to the difference between what the employee would have received under the employer's qualified

retirement plan without applying the Section 415 limitations and what the employee actually receives under the qualified retirement plan.

The Vectrus Systems Corporation Excess Savings Plan is a non-qualified unfunded savings plan. All balances under this plan are maintained on the books of Vectrus. Vectrus contributes to the participant's excess savings account at 4% of eligible base compensation. Participant investment earnings are based on the Guaranteed Income Fund - Stable Value Fund in the Vectrus 401(k) Plan. Benefits will be paid to the NEO in a lump sum in the seventh month following the last day worked by such NEO.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION

The following table shows the activity within the Excess Savings Plan for the NEOs for 2019.

PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL

In this section, we discuss the compensation payable (including accelerated vesting of equity awards) in the event of a change in control and employment termination under several different circumstances, including voluntary termination, termination for cause, death, disability, termination without cause and termination in connection with a change in control.

The amounts shown in the Potential Post-Employment Compensation table are estimates, assuming the triggering event occurred on December 31, 2019. Values attributed to accelerated vesting of equity-based awards are based on Vectrus’ closing stock price on December 31, 2019, which was $51.26.

PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS PROVIDED GENERALLY TO SALARIED EMPLOYEES

The amounts shown in the table below do not include payments and benefits to the extent these payments and benefits are provided on a non-discriminatory basis to salaried employees generally upon termination of employment. These include:



l	Accrued salary and paid time off; and
l	Amounts currently vested under the Vectrus Excess Savings Plan.

No perquisites are provided to the NEOs upon a change in control or in any of the post-employment circumstances shown in the table below.

SEVERANCE AND CHANGE IN CONTROL

SENIOR EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PAY PLAN

The purpose of this plan is to provide a period of transition for senior executives. Senior executives who are U.S. citizens or who are employed in the United States are covered by this plan. The plan generally provides for severance payments if Vectrus terminates a senior executive’s employment without cause. The amount of severance pay under this plan depends on the executive’s base pay and years of service. In October 2015, the plan was amended to, among other things, reduce the maximum severance benefit from 24 months of base pay to 18 months of base pay. The severance benefit begins at 12 months of base pay for less than four years of service and increases to 18 months of base pay for service of nine years or more. Senior executives who had earned severance of greater than 18 months as of the October 2015 plan amendment were grandfathered at the higher level. In November 2016, the plan was further amended to provide severance benefits to eligible covered executives regardless of age. The amendments made with respect to this plan were the result of a study of competitive practice undertaken in concert with the Compensation Consultant retained by the Compensation Committee. The executives are also eligible to continue receiving subsidized health and welfare benefits during the severance payment period. Vectrus considers these severance pay provisions appropriate given the job responsibilities and competitive market in which senior executives function. Vectrus’ obligation to continue severance payments stops if the executive does not comply with the Vectrus Code of Conduct or applicable Vectrus Corporate Policies. Vectrus considers this cessation provision to be critical to Vectrus’ emphasis on ethical behavior. Vectrus’ obligation to continue severance payments also ends if the

executive engages in any activity inimical to the best interests of Vectrus, disparages Vectrus, induces employees to leave Vectrus without our consent or does not comply with non-competition provisions of this plan. These provisions protect the integrity of our business and are consistent with typical business arrangements. If a covered executive receives or is entitled to receive other severance or similar compensation under another Vectrus plan or agreement or under applicable law, the amount of that other compensation will reduce amounts otherwise payable under this plan, to the extent such offsetting would not violate Code Section 409A. The severance is paid in equal installments over the applicable severance period.

The exceptions to severance payments are:



l	the executive terminates his or her own employment;
l	the executive’s employment is terminated for cause, death or disability; or
l	the executive accepts employment or refuses comparable employment with a purchaser in a divestiture situation.

Assuming a termination by Vectrus without cause on December 31, 2019, Messrs. Prow, Hathaway and Boyle and Mses. Lynch and Deagle would have been entitled to 12 months of severance. In addition, Mr. Noon, who is covered by another severance plan, would have been entitled to 18 weeks of severance. (See "Post-Employment Compensation - Other Severance Plan" above.)

SPECIAL SENIOR EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PAY PLAN

The purpose of this plan is to provide compensation in the case of termination of employment in connection with an Acceleration Event (as defined below). The provisions of this plan are specifically designed to address the inability of senior executives to influence the Company's future performance after certain change in control events. The plan is structured to encourage executives to act in the best interests of shareholders without regard to the potential impact a change in control transaction might have with respect to his or her employment by providing severance protections for terminations that arise in connection with a change in control transaction.

The purposes of these provisions are to:



l	provide for continuing cohesive operations as executives evaluate a transaction, which, without change in control protection, could be personally adverse to the executive;
l	keep executives focused on preserving value for shareholders;
l	retain key talent in the face of potential transactions; and
l	attract talented employees in the competitive marketplace.

As discussed above, this plan provides severance benefits for covered executives, including the NEOs, if their employment is terminated (i) by the Company without cause within two years after a change in control transaction or prior to a change

in control transaction if the termination occurs after public announcement of the transaction (provided the transaction is consummated) or the termination is at the request of a party to the transaction, or (ii) where the covered executive terminates his or her employment for good reason (including a termination due to death or disability if at the time of such termination the executive could have resigned for good reason) within two years after a change in control transaction.

This plan provides four tiers of benefits for covered executives, based on their position within the Company and the criticality of their role in a change in control transaction. The Compensation Committee, working in concert with the independent Compensation Consultant, considered four tiers of benefits appropriate based on the relative ability of each tier of employee to influence future Company performance. In the event of a covered termination under this plan, the executive would be entitled to:



l	any accrued but unpaid base salary and paid time off, any earned but unpaid bonus (AIP payment) relating to the preceding year, unreimbursed expenses and any amounts to which the executive is entitled under applicable employee benefit plans;
l	two and a half (2.5), two (2.0), one and a half (1.5) or one (1.0) times the executive’s annual base salary and target AIP at the time of the termination, paid in equal installments; and
l	continuation of health (medical/dental) and life insurance benefits at the same levels for the length of the individual's severance.

If payments triggered by a change in control transaction would constitute excess parachute payments for purposes of Code Section 280G, then either: (1) payments would be reduced by the amount needed to avoid triggering Code Section 280G, or (2) no reduction of payments would occur, depending on which alternative leaves the executive in a better after-tax position.

Mr. Prow is covered at the Tier 1 level of benefits of 2.5 times, Ms. Lynch is covered at the Tier 2 level of benefits of 2.0 times, Messrs. Hathaway and Boyle and Ms. Deagle are covered at the Tier 3 level of benefits of 1.5 times and Mr.Noon is covered at the Tier 4 level of benefits at 1.0 times.

EFFECT OF A CHANGE IN CONTROL AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT ON ANNUAL INCENTIVE AWARDS, EQUITY AWARDS AND THE EXCESS SAVINGS PLAN

Annual Incentive Awards. Under the AIP, upon a change in control, the AIP awards for the year of the change in control would be paid at the greater of “target” or actual achievement as of the date of the change in control event. Since the AIP awards would have been earned as of December 31, 2019 based on continued employment through such date, and actual performance exceeded target, we have not reflected the 2019 AIP awards in the table below. The NEO’s AIP awards

for 2019, including the target opportunities and the actual amounts earned, are discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement.

Long-Term Incentive Awards. No outstanding long-term incentive awards accelerate solely upon a change in control transaction; however, vesting is accelerated in the event of certain termination of employment scenarios. Following is a description of how the awards are treated upon different termination events.

•

Stock Options. The stock options become fully vested upon termination due to death or disability. Upon termination due to retirement (termination at or after age 60 with at least 5 years of service, other than termination by the Company for cause or due to death or disability), a prorated portion of the option will continue to vest on the applicable vesting dates based on the number of full months of employment during the vesting period, and any remaining unvested portion will expire unless the option holder agrees to comply with the non-competition covenants contained in the stock option agreement, in which case the option will vest without proration on each subsequent vesting date as if employment had continued. If the option holder is not retirement eligible upon voluntary resignation or termination by the Company without cause, the unvested portions of the option expire immediately, except that if employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by the option holder for good reason within 24 months following a change in control transaction, the options become fully vested.

•

RSUs. The RSUs become fully vested upon termination due to death or disability. Upon termination due to retirement (termination at or after age 60 with at least 5 years of service, other than termination by the Company for cause or due to death or disability) or termination by the Company without cause, a prorated portion of the RSUs will continue to vest on the applicable vesting dates based on the number of full months of employment during the vesting period, and any remaining unvested portion will be forfeited unless the RSU holder agrees to comply with the non-competition covenants contained in the RSU agreement, in which case the RSUs will vest without proration on each subsequent vesting date as if employment had continued. If the RSU holder is not retirement eligible upon voluntary resignation, the unvested portions of the RSUs will be forfeited. If employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by the option holder for good reason within 24 months following a change in control transaction, the RSUs become fully vested.


•	TSR Awards. Upon termination due to death or disability, the TSR awards remain eligible to vest based on actual performance over the performance period (or as determined upon a change in control event as described below if such an event occurs during the performance period) as if the award holder

had remained employed. Upon termination due to retirement (termination at or after age 60 with at least 5 years of service, other than termination by the Company for cause or due to death or disability) or termination by the Company without cause, a prorated portion of the TSR award will remain eligible to vest based on actual performance over the performance period (or as determined upon a change in control event as described below if such an event occurs during the performance period) as if employment had continued, and any remaining unvested portion will expire unless the award holder agrees to comply with the non-competition covenants contained in the TSR award agreement, in which case the portion of the award that vests will not be prorated. If the award holder is not retirement eligible upon voluntary resignation, the unvested portions of the award will be forfeited. If employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by the award holder for good reason within 24 months following a change in control transaction, the award becomes fully vested, with a prorated portion of the award determined by calculating the average performance over any completed and open performance periods (based on actual performance through the date of the change in control event) and the remainder based on assumed target performance.

Each of the NEOs has accepted the terms and conditions with respect to their awards, including restrictive covenants. None of the NEOs were retirement eligible (age 60 with 5 years of service) for purposes of their long-term incentive awards on December 31, 2019.

Vectrus Systems Corporation Excess Savings Plan . Payment of the NEOs’ accounts under this plan would be triggered by a change in control or a termination of employment or death of the NEO. The definition of change in control under this plan is consistent with the corresponding definition under Code Section 409A. Since there is no accelerated vesting or other enhancement of benefits under the plan, we have not disclosed the NEOs’ accounts in the table below. For information regarding this plan and the NEOs’ aggregate balances as of December 31, 2019, see the “Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation” table above.

Additional Information. The change in control and employment termination provisions in these plans and agreements are intended to provide protections in the context of change in control transaction and certain termination events so that the executives can focus on preserving value for shareholders when evaluating situations that, without these provisions, could be personally adverse to the executive. Except for the Vectrus Systems Corporation Excess Savings Plan, which defines a change in control by reference to the corresponding definition under Code Section 409A, change in control is defined as one of the following acceleration events ("Acceleration Events") for purposes of these plans and agreements:


1.	A report on Schedule 13D was filed with the SEC disclosing that any person, other than Vectrus or one of its subsidiaries or any employee benefit plan that is sponsored by Vectrus or a subsidiary, had become the beneficial owner of 30% or more of Vectrus’ outstanding stock;


2.	A person other than Vectrus or one of its subsidiaries or any employee benefit plan that is sponsored by Vectrus or a subsidiary purchased Vectrus shares in connection with a tender or exchange offer, if after consummation of the offer the person purchasing the shares is the beneficial owner of 30% or more of Vectrus outstanding stock;


3.	The consummation of:

(a)

any consolidation, business combination or merger of Vectrus other than a consolidation, business combination or merger in which the shareholders of Vectrus immediately prior to the merger would hold 50% or more of the combined voting power of Vectrus or the surviving corporation of the merger and would have the same proportionate ownership of common stock of the surviving corporation that they held in Vectrus immediately prior to the merger; or


(b)	any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Vectrus;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) upon the exercise of a stock-settled Stock Appreciation Right or net-settled Option, the number of Shares subject to the Award (or portion of the Award) that is then being exercised shall be counted against the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan as provided above, on the basis of one Share for every Share subject thereto, regardless of the actual number of Shares issued upon exercise, (b) any Shares withheld with respect to an Award (or, with respect to Restricted Stock, returned) in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations shall be counted as Shares issued and (c) any Shares tendered in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations or an Option exercise price or repurchased by the Company with proceeds collected in connection with the exercise of an Option may not be added back to the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan.

Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3 herein, the number of Shares hereby reserved for issuance under the Plan for Full Value Awards granted after December 31, 2014 shall not exceed one million two hundred thousand (1,200,000). In addition, any Shares related to Full Value Awards (including Converted Awards that are Full Value Awards) that terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, or otherwise without the issuance of such Shares, are settled in cash in lieu of Shares, or are exchanged with the Committee’s permission for Awards not involving Shares, shall be available again for grant of Full Value Awards under the Plan.

All of the reserved Shares may be used as ISOs.

A- 4

The Shares available for issuance under the Plan may be authorized and unissued Shares or treasury Shares.

The following limits (“ Award Limits ”) shall apply to Awards (other than Converted Awards), dividends and dividend equivalent intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation:

4.2 Non-Employee Director Limitations .

4.3 Adjustments in Authorized Shares . In the event of any equity restructuring (within the meaning of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718 (formerly FAS 123R) that causes the per share value of Shares to change, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spin off, rights offering, or recapitalization through a large, nonrecurring cash dividend, the Committee shall cause there to be made an equitable adjustment to: (a) the number and, if applicable, kind of shares that may be issued under the Plan or pursuant to any type of Award under the Plan, (b) the Award Limits, (c) the number and, if applicable, kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards and (d) as applicable, the Option Price or Grant Price of any then outstanding Awards. In the event of any other change in corporate structure or capitalization, such as a merger, consolidation, any reorganization (whether or not such reorganization comes within the definition of such term in Section 368 of the Code) or any partial or complete liquidation of the Company, the Committee, in its sole discretion, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants’ rights under the Plan, shall cause there to be made such equitable adjustments described in the foregoing sentence. Any fractional shares resulting from adjustments made pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be eliminated. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of the Plan.

Except to the extent it would unintentionally cause Performance Based Compensation to fail to qualify for the performance based exception to Code Section 162(m), appropriate adjustments may also be made by the Committee in the terms of any Awards under the Plan to reflect such changes or distributions and to modify any other terms of outstanding Awards on an equitable basis, including modifications of performance goals and changes in the length of Performance Periods. The determination of the Committee as to the foregoing adjustments, if any, shall be conclusive and binding on Participants under the Plan.

Subject to the provisions of Article 12, without affecting the number of Shares reserved or available hereunder, the Committee may authorize the issuance or assumption of benefits under this Plan in connection with any merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, share exchange, amalgamation, reorganization or similar transaction upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate; provided, however, that no such issuance or assumption shall be made without affecting the number of Shares reserved or available hereunder if it would prevent the granting of ISOs under the Plan.

4.4 Minimum Vesting for Equity Awards . Except in the event of the death, disability or, for Awards granted prior to May 13, 2016, retirement of the Employee, a Converted Award or replacement of an Award, or in connection with an adjustment pursuant to Section 4.3 or an Acceleration Event, Awards granted to an Employee under the Plan shall be subject to a minimum vesting period of one year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may grant Awards without the above-described minimum vesting requirements, or may permit and authorize acceleration of vesting of Awards otherwise subject to the above-described minimum vesting requirements, with respect to Awards covering 5% or fewer of the total number of Shares authorized under the Plan.

6.2 Award Agreement . Each Option grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Option Price, the duration of the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains, the conditions upon which an Option shall become vested and exercisable, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine which are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan. The Award Agreement also shall specify whether the Option is intended to be an ISO or an NQSO.

6.3 Option Price . The Option Price for each grant of an Option under this Plan shall be as determined by the Committee; provided, however, the Option Price shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Option is granted.

A condition of the issuance of the Shares as to which an Option shall be exercised shall be the payment of the Option Price. The Option may be exercised (and the Option Price may be satisfied) by (a) delivering cash or its equivalent, (b) tendering (either by actual delivery or attestation) previously acquired Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the Option Price, (c) broker-assisted cashless exercise, (d) net exercise, (e) a combination of the foregoing or (f) by any other method approved by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee shall determine acceptable methods for tendering Shares as payment upon exercise of an Option and may impose such limitations and prohibitions on the use of Shares to exercise an Option as it deems appropriate.

Subject to any governing rules or regulations, as soon as practicable after receipt of written notification of exercise and full payment (including satisfaction of any applicable tax withholding), the Company shall deliver to the Participant evidence of book entry Shares, or upon the Participant’s request, Share certificates in an appropriate amount based upon the number of Shares purchased under the Option(s).

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, all payments under the methods indicated above shall be paid in United States dollars.

6.7 Restrictions on Share Transferability . The Committee may impose such restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option granted under this Article 6 as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions under applicable federal securities laws, under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such Shares are then listed and/or traded, and under any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such Shares.

6.10 Notification of Disqualifying Disposition .

ARTICLE XII

ACCELERATION EVENT

The Compensation Committee shall specify in each Participant’s Award Agreement the treatment of outstanding Awards upon an Acceleration Event; provided that any Converted Award will continue to apply the definition of “change in control” or “acceleration event” as provided in the Predecessor Plan under which such Converted Award was originally granted. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no award agreement shall provide for an acceleration of (i) vesting or (ii) distribution or payout of an Award unless there is both an Acceleration Event (or “change in control” or “acceleration event” in the case of Converted Awards) and a qualifying termination of employment or service.

13.3 Awards Previously Granted . Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no termination, amendment, suspension, or modification of the Plan or an Award Agreement shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the Participant holding such Award, unless otherwise required by law.
